WNBA Update: Teams With The Top 2 Records Clash Tonight

There is quite a clash in the WNBA tonight as the two highest ranked teams, the defending champion Minnesota Lynx and the Los Angeles Sparks play in Los Angeles.

The teams enter the game with identical (24-5) records and essentially are battling for the one seed with the other likely to be the two seed which correctly carries more weight in the WNBA this season.

Despite being in the same (Western) conference, if the season ended today the Lynx and Sparks would each have a bye until the semi-finals and would enjoy home court advantage, even as the second place team vs any team, even the probable league three seed, and Eastern Conference regular season winning, New York Liberty.
