MANILA, Philippines — The Seattle Storm are on the verge of the WNBA championship after beating the Las Vegas Aces, 104-91, in Game Two of the WNBA Finals on Sunday (Monday, Manila time).

Former WNBA MVP Stewart led the way for the Storm with 22 points, four of her teammates also finished with double-figures led by Natasha Howard's 21 markers.
Meanwhile, Sue Bird contributed heavily on offense with 16 points and 10 assists.
For the Aces, reigning MVP A'ja Wilson topscored with 20 points while Angel McCoughtry and Emma Cannon chipped in with 17 points each.
