The Seattle Storm’s victory snapped a six-game skid and spoiled the Atlanta Dream’s six-game win streak in the first WNBA regular-season game ever played in Canada.

The Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 80-78 before a sellout crowd of 15,892 at Rogers Arena on Friday in the WNBA’s first regular-season game outside of the U.S.

The two teams put on a show for the Canadian audience, with the Storm holding on to beat the Dream 80-78. The win was not only a victory for Pacific Northwest dominance, but also ended a six-game losing streak for Seattle — while also snapping a six-game winning streak for Atlanta.

Ahead of Vancouver hosting the first WNBA regular-season game played outside the United States, a women's basketball great was at a playground in Stanley Park on Thursday to support an initiative that she hopes will help strengthen basketball's grassroots.
