They started sluggishly but it did not take a trademark Craig Bellamy spray for the Storm to overturn an 8-0 deficit to run in 24 unanswered points and wrap up a top-two finish.
Bellamy was thrilled with the response his players showed during their comeback victory over the Titans on Sunday.
The league leaders were looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss to the Raiders last week when they took on the lowly Titans at AAMI Park.
The triumph means the Storm have now locked up a top-two finish on the Telstra Premiership ladder and Bellamy was hopeful that meant his side would not have to travel outside of Melbourne during the finals should they make it all the way to the premiership decider.
"Everyone talks about top four, but to get in the top two it’s a fairly big advantage as you get that first final at home," Bellamy said.
"We are really happy we have wrapped that up and hopefully we will take advantage of it down the track."
The Storm looked to be under pressure for much of the opening half on Sunday as the Titans forced the competition pacesetters into some sloppy errors.
Five-eighth Cameron Munster lost his cool during a couple of occasions in the first half when he was penalised for dissent, but Bellamy thought the Storm star focused on his role better after the break.

"We had a bit of a chat at half-time and I think he responded well,” Bellamy said.
"He was frustrated with a couple of things and looking to blame other people and all he had to do was make sure he was doing his job.
"I think the second half he really reset and did a tremendous job for us.”
While the performance may not have been the best the Storm have produced this season, Bellamy was at least pleased with the urgency his side showed on defence so close to the finals.
"I was pretty happy the whole game with our defence. I thought it was real good,” he said.
"We weren’t great in the second half, but we put a bit of pressure on the Titans and got through in the end."
The only concern for the Storm heading into next Saturday's trip to Lottoland tp face fourth-placed Manly was centre Curtis Scott being placed on report for a crusher-style tackle on Titans winger Phillip Sami.
"He backed into the tackle, sometimes they are just accidents," Bellamy said.
"I haven't had a whole heap of looks at it but I think he went back into the tackle and Curtis went over the top of him."
