The Storm have dropped a franchise-record 10 straight games after blowing an 18-point lead in a loss at New York on Tuesday night. Her rookie year Seattle lost five in a row — the longest one she’s been a part of prior to the current one.“It’s something that’s different,” Loyd said Monday after practice. “But as long as you’re trying to get better, long term that’s what I look at. … No one likes to lose and it’s not something that we love to do.

The Storm have many new faces and Loyd and Coach Noelle Quinn both said that this team is well bonded off the court.“Our group is very tight with one and another,” Quinn said. “There hasn’t been fu...
