Storm now equal the record of four championship titles alongside Minnesota Lynx and the Houston Comets.
Guard Sue Bird, 39, said: “It doesn't feel real we just won and that I was able to contribute the way I did. Something, when it’s all said and done, that I’m incredibly proud of.”
Storm guard Jewell Loyd paid tribute to Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in January. Bryant had previously helped Loyd on her game.
