The Hamilton native and Canadian national team star had nine points in 19 minutes of action as her Los Angeles Sparks held on to beat the Seattle Storm 84-79 in front of 16,655 fans.
As the only Canadian on the floor, Nurse received the loudest roar during pre-game introductions. She gave a short pre-game speech to the crowd before the game.Sparks coach Curt Miller said his team called a set play right off the jump ball that would try to get the ball in Nurse’s hands so she could score the first points of the game. While Nurse missed from three-point range, he said the way she handled the pressure was special.“I’m just really proud of her,” said Miller.
“We’re adding Golden State next year, so we’re going to have 13 ,” said Skylar Diggins-Smith, who paced the Storm with 14 points and five assists. “So it would be nice to get to an even number of teams.”
