WNBA Playoff Preview: No. 2 Minnesota Lynx vs. No. 7 Phoenix Mercury

With the 40-game regular season now behind us, it’s officially the most exciting time of the year in the WNBA. The WNBA Playoffs tip off this weekend with eight teams left standing in pursuit of a league title in October.

After a first-round exit in the postseason in 2023, a series against the Connecticut Sun that went the full three games, the Minnesota Lynx return to the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the WNBA and looking to be a team that can make a serious run at a league crown.

With a record of 30-10 obtained during the regular season, the Lynx earned themselves the second seed in the playoffs, their highest seed since finishing atop the standings in 2017 (a year that ended pretty decent).
