Storm win one in D.C.

Swin Cash scored 19 points and Sue Bird (pictured) added 17 as the Seattle Storm won in Washington for the first time since 2006, topping the Mystics 73-63 on Sunday. Tanisha Wright also scored 17 points for the Storm (5-3), who took the lead for good late in the first quarter and were ahead 35-26 at halftime. After the Mystics got within 43-40 midway through the third quarter, Bird drilled a 3-pointer and scored eight points during a 14-4 run over the final 4:48 of the period to make it 57-44. The Storm have won two of three without reigning WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson (left hip surgery), and the defending champions have won three of four overall.
