Jackson scores 4,000th career point as Storm rout Fever

Jul 28, 2007 - 4:41 AM SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Lauren Jackson became the youngest player to score 4,000 career points as the Seattle Storm rolled to an 89-75 victory over the Indiana Fever on Friday night.

Jackson joins Lisa Leslie, Tina Thompson, Sheryl Swoopes and Katie Smith as the only players in league history to reach the impressive milestone. The 26-year-old Jackson, who now has 4013 career points overall, accomplished the feat in just 209 games.

The 6-5 Australian native reached the milestone with 6:13 to go in the second quarter with a turnaround baseline jumper as the Storm built a 30-22 lead.

Jackson finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds and two steals as Seattle returned home after enduring a dismal 1-3 four-game road trip. The former MVP is coming off a 47-point outburst in Tuesday's loss at Washington.

Betty Lennox scored 14 points and Iziane Castro Marque added 13 for the Storm, who shot 50 percent (31-of-62) from the field and forced 22 turnovers.

Anna DeForge netted 12 and All-Star Tammy Sutton-Brown and Tan White both chipped in 10 for Indiana, which shot 44 percent (29-of-65).
