The starting line up for Wednesday night, against the Seattle Storm was (G)  Layshia Clarendon, (F) Tiffany Hayes, and (C) Elizabeth Williams.

Three-time WNBA MVP and four-time Olympic gold medal winner who was picked number-seven in the 1997 inaugural WNBA draft; retired WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie was sitting court side showing support.

Cool fact about Lisa Leslie: On my born day July 30, the year was 2002 , Leslie became the first woman to dunk the ball in a WNBA game!

In 1st quarter Brittney Sykes tied the game 38 -38. Elizabeth Williams gained a  game high of 8 points.

At Halftime,  the Dream trailed behind the Storm 43-48.

Layshia Clarendon accumulated 8 points and 10 assists.

In the 4th quarter Clarendon finished out the game with 17 points , and 14 assists.

With tensions high and with hopes of a future playoff berth on the line the Dream pulled out a nail-biting win over the  Seattle Storm.

The  Dream’s last home game of the season is on Saturday, August 26, 6:00 PM, at McCamish Pavilion against the Indiana Fever.
