BOX SCORE
SEATTLE (AP) -- Natalie Williams had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Margo Dydek added 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots as the Utah Starzz completed a three-game season sweep with an 81-60 victory over the Seattle Storm on Saturday night. The Starzz began the second half of the season with one of their best performances of the year against the expansion Storm. Utah (9-8) shot 55 percent (34-for-62) from the field and outrebounded the Storm 35-19. Seattle lost its seventh straight and dropped to 2-12. The Starzz scored the game's first 12 points and rolled to a 48-32 halftime lead. The closest Seattle came in the second half was 70-56 with 6:54 left. Seattle's Robin Threatt scored a season-high 22 points on 10-for-13 shooting and equaled a franchise mark shared by Edna Campbell and Kamila Vodichkova. Utah shot 66 percent in the first half (21-for-32). The Starzz opened the second half with an 8-0 run and Seattle never threatened. Utah's biggest lead was 62-36 with 15:22 left. The Storm were without Campbell, who missed her third straight game with a sprained ankle. The Storm got 43 points from their reserves. Two of their starters -- Sonja Henning and Katrina Hibbert -- did not score. | ALSO SEE WNBA Scoreboard RECAPS Washington 78 Charlotte 74
