In a pivotal match, the Minnesota Lynx faced the Indiana Fever, where the Lynx had the opportunity to secure the top seed with a victory. However, the Fever, led by Caitlin Clark, upset Minnesota with a score of 96-77. This defeat means the Lynx must be at their best in their final game against the Fever on Thursday, as they previously aimed to rest their starters if they had clinched the top spot.
Currently, the Lynx, Valkyries, and Aces have all earned top-four seeds, while the Atlanta Dream continue to compete for home-court advantage in the upcoming playoffs. Securing home-court advantage is particularly vital given the tight race within this year's playoff field. Although the Lynx have had a strong season, the margins between the top and bottom seeds remain narrow, adding to the intensity of the playoff race. The Dream also recorded their fourth consecutive win, contributing to an exciting finish to the regular season.
