The WNBA Playoffs are officially here, and boy were the Minnesota Lynx ready.
The second-seeded Lynx opened up the 2024 postseason by hosting the seventh-seeded Phoenix Mercury at Target Center in Game 1 of the best-of-three first round. With homecourt advantage in the series and hosting the first two games, Minnesota put on a show at Target Center and looked ready to take it to Phoenix from the opening tip-off.
Behind a red-hot start early, the Lynx pulled out a 102-95 win over the Mercury on Sunday evening, taking a commanding 1-0 series while now just one game away from completed a sweep of the opening round series.
