All five of today's games were in-conference, and the results were wild:
East
The Fever slipped past the Liberty, 80-79. Indiana - which has lost only one game since the All-Star break - is now only one game behind first-place New York in the East.
The Sky edged the Mystics, 66-64, thanks to a Cappie Pondexter layup with six seconds to go. Chicago has beaten Washington four times this season, including once just a few days ago. The Sky hang on to third in the East.
Chicago forward Elena Delle Donne lost a shoe in the middle of the game, but got the rebound anyway.
The Dream ran past the Sun, 102-92, behind Angel McCoughtry's 33 points.
West
The Mercury beat the Lynx, 79-67, to clinch a playoff berth. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve was ejected in the third quarter after picking up two quick technical fouls.
The Sparks crushed the Stars, 90-59. Jantel Lavender lead Los Angeles with 22 points, and Candace Parker had 20 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.
