Opening night of the 2023 WNBA playoffs went like an all-chalk start to the NCAA tournament: The favorites dominated, and the stars were ready for the spotlight.
Wednesday opened with the No. 3 seed Connecticut Sun feasting on miscues from the No. 6 Minnesota Lynx in a 90-60 victory at Mohegan Sun Arena. In the second game, the top-seeded and defending champion Las Vegas Aces beat the No. 8 Chicago Sky 87-59.
It was just the second day in WNBA postseason history in which two teams won by 20 or more points.
