Summary
The WNBA Playoffs are underway, and the two top-seeded teams — the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm — are both powered by superstar players, with A’ja Wilson dominating the paint for Las Vegas, and Breanna Stewart’s all-around game at the center of everything for Seattle. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings to look at the battle for league MVP, and some first-round playoff drama, with Diana Taurasi, Skylar Diggins-Smith and the Phoenix Mercury narrowly escaping on a Shey Peddy game-winner.
