Womenshoopsworld.com reporter Joe Veyera's great game story: Playoff bound!

We're seeing history repeat itself.....Lauren Jackson was drafted #1 by the Storm in 2001; Sue Bird was #1 in 2002. Seattle made the playoffs for the first time that year.

In 2015 the Storm got Jewell Loyd #1 and this year, Breanna Stewart was their #1 pick. Now Seattle makes the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

Nneka Ogwumike and Kristi Toliver sat out today for the Sparks. Waiting to hear why.

The Wings held on for a big win over the Liberty, 84-81.

The Lynx held off the Stars, 81-76.

The Mercury downed the Dream, 86-75.

For Phoenix to get it, they have to win, or the Mystics must lose.
