It Looks Like The Nation's Capitol

It’s official. Well kind of.
The Washington Mystics are now assured of the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They will likely be the first-round opponent of the Sun, who are closing in on the WNBA’s best record.
Washington was locked into its spot after Indiana’s Saturday win at San Antonio and the Mystics’ double-overtime loss to Sacramento later in the night. Connecticut took two of three in the season series against Washington, with both wins coming at Mohegan Sun Arena.
In other playoff news, behind another 30-plus point effort from Diana Taurasi, Phoenix maintained its slim playoff hopes by beating Los Angeles. But Seattle knocking off Charlotte means the Mercury are no better off than when they started Saturday and now have one fewer game remaining to make up ground.
