The Storm beat the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty 79-70 on Sunday with a dominant performance that is sure to resonate around the league.

The Liberty basically picked up where they left off last season, behind their big three of Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. New York’s new contributor in Natasha Cloud has been a force to be reckoned with on the defensive end. Marine Johannes has also remained a three-point specialist.
