The WNBA playoffs are now set with the Atlanta Dream claiming the eighth seed after a victory over the New York Liberty. The postseason will kick off on Sunday with four best-of-three matchups. The Dream will face the top-seeded New York Liberty, while the Minnesota Lynx and the No. 2 seed will host the seventh-seeded Phoenix Mercury. The Connecticut Sun, seeded third, will welcome the Indiana Fever and rookie Caitlin Clark as the sixth seed. The Las Vegas Aces, aiming for a third consecutive championship, have secured the fourth seed and will host the fifth-seeded Seattle Storm.
Las Vegas aims to make history by becoming the first team since the Houston Comets in the late 1990s to win three consecutive titles. The playoffs format will see the higher seed hosting the first two games, with the possibility of a third deciding game at the home of the lower seed.
The final day of the regular season saw some intense competition, with Atlanta securing the last playoff spot with a victory over New York. The Liberty had already clinched the number one seed, while Connecticut secured the third seed with a win over Chicago. The upcoming playoffs promise to be thrilling, with some of the top teams in the league vying for the championship title.
