Lynx Likely WNBA One Seed

After Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles led the slight, road underdog, Minnesota Lynx to a 3 point win at L.A. vs the Sparks last night, it is very likely the defending WNBA champion Lynx will be the WNBA top seed.

Minnesota, where the Lakers once played and won 5 NBA titles before moving to Los Angeles which among many other things, is devoid of lakes, now has a one and a half game lead over the Sparks with each team having 4 remaining games.

During the regular season, the Lynx won both “at L.A.” tilts, while the Sparks won the one game played at Minnesota.

Despite those road wins by both teams, the Lynx, now the team likely to gain home advantage, should the two teams meet in the WNBA finals, all things being equal, are glad to have that advantage, should they maintain it.
