Storm Win Game 1 of WNBA Semifinals on Alysha Clark BuzzerBeater

Seattle Storm guard Alysha Clark finished a putback layup at the buzzer of Tuesday's WNBA semifinals matchup with the Minnesota Lynx to give the Storm a 88-86 Game 1 victory.

Tuesday's contest opened the series after multiple inconclusive COVID-19 tests from members of the Storm led to the postponement of Game 1, which was previously set for Sunday.

Seattle led by five points at halftime and nine points after three quarters. But an 11-2 Lynx run early in the fourth quarter cut into the Storm's deficit to just a point. A three-pointer by 2019 WNBA Rookie of the Year Napheesa Collier with just over four minutes to play gave the Lynx a one-point lead, its first of the second half.
