BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Breanna Stewart scored 27 points and the Seattle Storm made all 10 of their free throws at the end to fend of the Atlanta Storm 93-92. The Storm made 25 of 27 foul shots, and the Dream made three 3-pointers in the final 13.5 seconds. Rookie Chennedy Carter led the Dream with a career-high 35 points. Carter finished 11-of-17 shooting, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, and made all 10 of her free throws.
