Arike Ogunbowale’s Historic Night Helps Wings Stave Off Playoff Elimination (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning! I’m Kristen Wong, and I’m filling in for Dan Gartland. Tip of the cap to my friend Andy Nesbitt, who took care of newsletter duties earlier this week. Let’s get to it, starting with the WNBA playoffs. October is officially the best sports month. January and April might come close, but around these parts the WNBA reigns supreme. And what a game Valkyries-Wings was last night. The first WNBA playoff game this year to go into overtime did not disappoint. One day after the top-seeded L
The No. 1 Seeded Lynx Lost Another WNBA Playoff Heartbreaker. No One Has a Good Answer Why. (opens the original)

Another year, another heartbreaking playoff exit for the Lynx. The WNBA’s No. 1 seed crashed out of the postseason in disappointing fashion Tuesday night after getting swept in their first-round series against the No. 8 seeded-Liberty. Game 2’s 87-71 loss was as historic as it was tragic for the Lynx, marking the first time an 8 seed won its series against a 1 seed since the postseason format changed in 2016 (previously, the top seed had a bye). The worst part may be that the Lynx had no excuse

In one of the biggest games of her WNBA career, Caitlin Clark fouled out of the Fever’s playoff tilt against the Aces with 2:45 remaining in the fourth quarter. Her teammates were able to close out the 99-89 win without her, but if they hadn’t? The conversation around the officiating would probably be a much bigger topic than it is now. With the season on the line, Clark played some of her best basketball of the year in Tuesday’s showdown against the juggernaut Aces, becoming the first player in

The Aces couldn’t take care of business on the road in Tuesday’s playoff matchup against Caitlin Clark and the Fever, as Clark put together a historic performance to help lift Indiana to a 99–89 win and force Game 3 of their first-round series. The high-stakes playoff tilt wasn’t without controversy. Clark picked up her first tech of the postseason early in the second quarter but that only appeared to make her play better, and she went off for a team-high 27 points and 15 assists in Indy’s win-o
WNBA Announcer Scolded Caitlin Clark for Her Bad Habit in Playoff Game vs. Aces. And She Was Right. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin Clark and the Fever are staring down another disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the Aces if they don’t get their act together. And that includes hustling on every ball and every play. Early in Indiana’s home matchup against Las Vegas in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series, both teams found a nice rhythm in what’s expected to be a heavyweight showdown between two of the league’s top-scoring offenses. Clark opened the Fever’s scoring with a three-pointer on the very first poss
