CHICAGO — Skylar Diggins scored 21 points, rookie Dominique Malonga had 14 points and 10 rebounds for her first double-double and the Seattle Storm rode a 56-point second half to a 95-57 rout of the Chicago Sky on Thursday night.

Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner began his career in Seattle, where he played 10 years and won a Super Bowl title with the Seahawks. He saw firsthand how much enthusiasm the community had for the Storm, a team that has missed the WNBA playoffs only six times in its history.
