Get ready for a pair of Game 3s in the WNBA quarterfinals.
The Seattle Storm overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Las Vegas Aces, 86-83, on Tuesday, Sept. 16 and force a Game 3 on Thursday, Sept. 18 in Las Vegas (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2). Skylar Diggins led the Storm with 26 points while teammate Nneka Ogwumike added 24.
"We had a really tough August and we saw a lot of close games that didn't go our way," Ogwumike said. "I think we were actually training a muscle that you need in the postseason. So, today was one of those days, where we've been in crunch time, and we were able to turn it around."
The Indiana Fever, meanwhile, are down five players — including All-Star guard Caitlin Clark — to season-ending injuries but still managed to make the playoffs.
So, it's not surprising, the Fever showed their now-patented resiliency by blowing out the Atlanta Dream, 77-60, in a win-or-go-home matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
