Run It Back

Despite a sloppy performance in Sunday's Game 3, the Sky gritted out a hard-fought 76-72 victory over the Sun. Neither team's performance epitomized beautiful basketball, as Chicago and Connecticut shot just 37.1% and 36.8%, respectively, from the floor

But a win is a win, and Chicago is now just one more W away from a second straight Finals berth 🏆

  • The Sky prevailed behind their dominant defense, anchored by another lockdown performance from Candace Parker

  • They gave the Sun hell around the basket, holding them to a meager 39% shooting on looks from five feet or closer ❄️

On the other end, Chicago relied on a typically balanced offensive attack, with four players reaching double figures in scoring. It's this versatility that has Chicago perched on the precipice of another WNBA Finals 😤

Can Vegas Close?

On the other side of the bracket, the Aces and Storm have been absolutely battling. Las Vegas entered the playoffs as the title favorite, but after dropping Game 1 everything was up for grabs 👀

  • After just eight points in the series opener, A'ja Wilson has been dominant, scoring 67 points over her last two games. Las Vegas now leads the series 2-1

  • Chelsea Gray also stepped up big time in Sunday's overtime win, dropping 29 pts and 12 asts

  • Plus, you just love to see tweets like this 👇

Heading into Game 4 in Seattle, books are expecting a battle. Take a look at how close these lines are...

Aces vs. Storm Betting Preview (subject to change)

  • Spread: Storm -1.5

  • Moneyline: EVEN

  • O/U: 167.5 Total Points

If you haven't heard, this is Sue Bird's last playoff push, and you just know she's not going down without a fight. The Aces are still favored to win it all (-115), but those odds have shrunk since this series started, making tonight's game officially a must-watch 🍿
