Williams, known for her tenacious defense, has been a force all season consistently rattling ball-handlers and igniting fast breaks. With this game, she surpassed the previous mark, establishing herself as Seattle’s premier perimeter defender.

Despite Williams’ standout effort, the Storm were unable to overcome a cold shooting night and surrendered multiple scoring runs to Dallas. Still, Williams’ record-breaking performance offers a bright spot and a sign of the team’s commitment to defense, even amid a challenging stretch.
