Jackson, Cash lead Storm to win over Lynx

SEATTLE – Lauren Jackson scored 24 points, Swin Cash hit the go-ahead lay-in with 59.3 seconds left and the Seattle Storm rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to beat the Minnesota Lynx 68-64 on Tuesday night.

Cash finished with 13 points for Seattle (26-6), and Camille Little had a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds.

Lindsay Whalen led Minnesota (12-20) with 20 points and Monica Wright scored 14.

The Lynx are still part of a three-way battle for the final two Western Conference playoff spots. Minnesota is in a three-way tie with San Antonio and Los Angeles.

The Storm already have clinched the league’s best record and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs. Tuesday’s victory kept alive their chance to tie the 2001 Sparks for most regular-season wins (28). It also was their 16th win at home this season, tying that same L.A. team in that department. Seattle plays at Phoenix on Thursday, then winds up the regular season at home against Los Angeles on Saturday.
