Seattle's offense has been potent, averaging 82.7 points per game, with Nneka Ogwumike leading the charge at 21.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Skylar Diggins-Smith has been pivotal in playmaking, contributing 6.2 assists per game. The Storm’s defense, allowing 81.0 points per game, has shown toughness, particularly in recent victories where they limited opponents effectively. 

With a 42.0% field goal percentage and 10.0 steals per game, Seattle has been efficient both offensively and defensively, maintaining pressure on opponents. Seattle’s rebounding, led by Ogwumike, who averages 8.3 rebounds per game, has given them a significant edge in second-chance opportunities.

On the other hand, the Chicago Sky are averaging slightly higher at 83.5 points per game but are conceding 82.0 points. Marina Mabrey has been a standout performer, averaging 19.3 points and 5.5 assists per game. The Sky’s defense, however, has struggled at times, particularly in close games. 

The Sky’s field goal percentage stands at 42.3%, marginally better than Seattle, but they lag in rebounds, averaging 34.5 per game compared to Seattle's 39.3. Chicago's ability to generate steals (10.5 per game) and blocks (5.3 per game) showcases its defensive potential, yet consistency remains an issue. The absence of Kamilla Cardoso due to injury further compounds challenges in maintaining a robust defense against Seattle’s aggressive offense.
