Playoff links--No. 1 seed Storm vs. No. 4 seed Los Angeles

Jayda Evans covers college and pro women's basketball. While its her first year on the Washington beat, she has covered the Storm since its inception. She'll offer observations, critiques, occasional off-beat tales and answers to select e-mail inquires. Evans also has written a book on the Storm and women's hoops, called "Game On!"

Most Storm players had what F Swin Cash called a "mental" day of practice on Thursday. Some rested their bodies and minds while others like Sue Bird took shots and reserves Abby Bishop, Alison Lacey, Jana Vesela, and Ashley Robinson "opened up a can" on the male practice players in a four-on-four game.

The team has one more session Friday in Seattle before traveling to Los Angeles for Saturday's Game 2 matinee at Staples Center. The Storm leads the series 1-0, possessing the deeper team due to key injuries on LA's roster.
