Reserve Crystal Langhorne scored a season-high 19 points and the host Seattle Storm used a 3-point barrage to record a wire-to-wire 78-69 victory over the New York Liberty on Sunday. Seattle beat the Liberty 12 days after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in a one-point loss in New York. Seattle’s Natasha Howard, playing her first game since facing domestic violence allegations from her wife Jackie Howard, added 14 points as the Storm shot 42.3 percent. Kia Nurse led New York with 19 points, but Tina Charles was held to nine and shot 2-of-15 from the floor. The Liberty missed their first 10 shots of the second quarter before Nurse’s 3-pointer made it 41-24 with 3:42 remaining.
