Nneka Ogwumike scored 15 points, Brittney Sykes added 13 and Dominique Malonga had 12 points and eight rebounds as the Storm (17-17) squandered a 15-point lead before snapping Atlanta's six-game win streak.

Rhyne Howard scored 21 points and Brionna Jones had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta (21-12).

The game, held in a city that has neither a WNBA or NBA team of its own, had created a buzz of anticipation in Vancouver. WATCH | Storm beat Dream in 1st regular-season WNBA game in Canada:
