The VaultX ExchangeLas Vegas Aces and New York Liberty have locked up two of the semifinal spots in the 2024 WNBA playoffs. Can the last two be secured?
On Wednesday, the Connecticut Sun and Minnesota Lynx will have a chance to advance to the semifinals and set up a playoff rematch from last season. On the other hand, the Indiana Fever and Phoenix Mercury will be fighting to keep their seasons alive and force a win-or-go-home Game 3 on their home courts. Not only do the Fever and Mercury face elimination, but it could also mean the end Caitlin Clark's rookie season, and potentially the last time Diana Taurasi plays for Phoenix, or even in the WNBA.
Here's what to know for Wednesday night's playoff action:
What happened in Game 1? Alyssa Thomas had her fourth career postseason triple double to spoil Clark's playoff debut 93-69. The experienced Sun broke away from the Fever in the second half to take the series lead.
What's on the line? If Connecticut wins, it advances to the semifinals. If Indiana wins, it would force a Game 3 with the Fever hosting Friday night.
What happened in Game 1? Phoenix overcame a 23-point deficit to take a fourth-quarter lead, but Minnesota fended off the late rally to win 102-95. Napheesa Collier scored a playoff career-high 38 points, four points shy of the playoff record of 42 held by Breanna Stewart.
What's on the line? If Minnesota wins, it advances to the semifinals. If Phoenix wins, it would force a Game 3 with the Mercury hosting Friday night.
