Shanna Crossley scored all 14 of her points in the fourth quarter to lead the San Antonio Silver Stars to a 78-68 victory over the Seattle Storm on Saturday night.

Crossley made four 3-pointers in the final quarter to help the Silver Stars (4-2) build a 20-point lead. It was the second victory in eight days for San Antonio over the Storm (2-2).

Lauren Jackson had 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Storm. Iziane Castro Marques added 10 points.

Vickie Johnson and Ruth Riley each had 13 points for San Antonio. Johson also had 10 rebounds.

The Silver Stars led by as many as nine points in the third quarter and led 57-51 after three quarters before blowing the game open in the final quarter.

Crossley, a reserve who averaged 11.4 points per game in the first five, took control in the final quarter. She made a 3-pointer after a steal and hit another one as she fell to the floor with Jackson in her face.

Becky Hammon, who played eight seasons in New York before being traded before this season to San Antonio, had 12 points. Hammon had scored more than 20 points in the previous three games.

The Storm had an eight-day layoff since losing 82-71 at San Antonio on May 25. Sue Bird had seven points, four below her average for the Storm. She was 3 of 12 from the field.

One Storm fan showed his support for Jackson, of Australia, by holding up a 4-foot plastic kangaroo every time Jackson scored.

Riley scored 11 points in the first quarter for the Silver Stars, hitting all four of her shots from the field.

Seattle shot only 38 percent from the field.
