One week into the WNBA Playoffs, we have now narrowed the number of teams from eight to four left fighting for a league title.
With No. 1 New York Liberty and No. 4 Las Vegas Aces filling out the other half of the postseason bracket, the second-seeded Minnesota Lynx will battle the third-seeded Connecticut Sun in the best-of-five semifinals round with a trip to the WNBA Finals on the line.
During the regular season, the Lynx and Sun faced off three times, with Connecticut holding a 2-1 advantage. The Sun won a controversial 83-82 overtime game in Connecticut on May 23, taking the second game of the season series 78-73 on July 4 in Minneapolis.
