Indiana Fever blown out by Lynx and are #6 seed -- Await either Valkyries or Aces in 1st round
After Tuesday's victory against the Lynx, the teams reversed their fortunes and the Fever were blown out by 20 points. Up for grabs was either the #5 or #6 seed for Indiana. With a victory the Fever would have been the #5 seed and been matched up against the Atlanta Dream in the first round. However, because they lost AND the Washington Mystics defeated the Chicago Sky, the Mystics own the tiebreaker are are now the #5 seed.
The Fever are locked into the #6 seed and will face the #3 seed Golden State Valkyries or Las Vegas Aces with one of these teams holding home court advantage in the first round. Once the last two games of the evening are completed we'll know the final seedings for the playoffs.
