WNBA Sunday Night
Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm
Game 3 15:00 ET
While the Seattle Storm have history on their side since no WNBA team has squandered a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five playoff series, they are not complacent heading into Sunday’s Game 3 versus the Minnesota Lynx.
Sweeps have been the order of the day when teams grab a 2-0 lead, with 10 teams completing the series win in three games. Two teams have needed four games and one was pushed to five. The Storm had three and four-game series en route to their 2018 title, knocking off the Phoenix Mercury in four games before dispatching the Washington Mystics in three.
“But still I know Minny is going to come out to keep their season alive. We’re not taking them lightly,” MVP runner-up Breanna Stewart told the Seattle Times. “We know that we’ve been in Game 3 before in 2018 when we lost to Phoenix. We know it’s tough and we’ll be ready.”
