It was all chalk in the first round, as the top four seeds in the WNBA playoffs advanced to the semifinals.
The top-seeded Aces followed up their record-breaking regular season with a convincing first-round sweep over the No. 8 Chicago Sky. The No. 2 Liberty swept the No. 7 Washington Mystics and the No. 4 Wings swept the No. 5 Atlanta Dream.
The No. 3 Sun’s series against the No. 6 Minnesota Lynx was the only one to reach a decisive Game 3. The Sun avoided the upset, though, beating the Lynx on the road to punch their ticket to the semis.
