Anticipating the season's fiery end

Today's results:

The Dream stopped the Liberty, 82-68, behind Renee Montgomery's seven three-pointers - a franchise record. It's Atlanta's sixth straight win.

The Wings downed the Mystics, 90-81. Liz Cambage made history again in the game.

The Aces edged the Mercury, 85-82. Kayla McBride led the way with 27 points.

So Las Vegas is closing in on eighth place and a playoff spot. The current No. 8 - the Sun - plays No. 1 Seattle tomorrow. This is going to be a heck of a finish to the season.

Tomorrow's game schedule:

Storm at Sun

Wings at Sky

Fever at Sparks
