The Seattle Storm pushed it to another level in the fourth quarter and put away the Minnesota Lynx, 89-79, to take a 2-0 lead in their semifinal series. It’s a deep hole for the Lynx as no team in WNBA history has come back from a two-game deficit in a best-of-five series.
It’s a much closer set of games in the other semifinal where the Connecticut Sun took a 2-1 lead over the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces. Alyssa Thomas led the Sun to a 77-68 victory despite a dislocated shoulder suffered on Tuesday.
