Storm vs Wings Prediction
On paper, the Wings should win comfortably the way they did the Storm back in August where they won by 22 points. However, the Wings have lost 6 straight road games, and they’re coming off an inexcusable loss to the Mercury, where they led most of the way and then refused to defend the same play over and over in the fourth quarter. The Wings just don’t know how to close games, and all of these frustrating losses have to be taking its toll. It’s the last game of the season for the Storm, so maybe there’s some motivation to send the fans off with something positive. Either way, this is a fade of the Wings more than anything. Give me the points.
