Social Stream: Can't Miss Tuesday Night In The W
It’s one of those rare special nights where we get to see the undisputed best two teams in a league go head-to-head. The Lynx and Sparks will again treat us to a historically good matchup, as only the winner win retain the chance to go on and tie for the most wins in WNBA regular season history (29). The winner will also own the tiebreaker for the league’s top postseason season, should the two teams finished the season with identical records like they have now. Follow along here for updates on that colossal game, as well as an important playoff preview between the Mercury and Dream, and Tamika Catchings’ final visit to San Antonio!
Thank you everyone!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support and encouragement as I navigate this new normal! We fight together!
