WNBA Playoff Positioning Just Got Tighter With 5 Games Left

The WNBA regular season is down to the last five games, and the playoff races just got interesting. Four of the league’s top-five teams were in action on Tuesday night with the 3- and 4-seeds making up ground on the current 1- and 2-seeds. With 12 teams in the league, only the top five have winning records, and they’re head-and-shoulders above the rest. Teams 6-11 are separated by just 2.5 games, which means every game matters down the stretch. Here’s a look at last night’s highlights and a snapshot of the playoff picture.
