SEATTLE — A lot of Breanna Stewart in the closing minutes and one big defensive stop in the final seconds put the Seattle Storm on the cusp of a third W.N.B.A. Seattle will head to Washington for Game 3 on Wednesday night needing only a split back east to claim the third title in franchise history. “It came down to a stop, and I thought we did a really good job,” Seattle Coach Dan Hughes said. All year, we have watched the defensive numbers get better and better and better and better and better. I thought it was quite poetic that some of these games were going to come down to a stop.”
