The 2024 WNBA playoffs have arrived, and Sunday’s quadruple header is in the books. The New York Liberty defeated the Atlanta Dream, the Connecticut Sun defeated the Indiana Fever, the Minnesota Lynx survived a late scare against the Phoenix Mercury, and the Las Vegas Aces held off the Seattle Storm in a hard-fought win.
The first-round playoff series are best-of-three, with a unique 2-1 format where the higher seed hosts Games 1 and 2. This allows them to potentially sweep and advance to the semifinals without playing a road game. However, if the lower seed wins one of the first two games, they will then host a winner-take-all Game 3.
Final scores from Sunday’s games:
No. 1 New York Liberty 83, No. 8 Atlanta Dream 69
No. 3 Connecticut Sun 93, No. 6 Indiana Fever 69
No. 2 Minnesota Lynx 102, No. 7 Phoenix Mercury 95
No. 4 Las Vegas Aces 78, No. 5 Seattle Storm 67
