On September 18, the WNBA regular season is nearing its end, and the competition for the last playoff spot remains fierce, with the Dream, Mystics, and Sky vying for the position.
In this round of matches, the Dream defeated the Sky 86-70, while the Mystics lost to the Liberty 71-87. Thus, the Dream temporarily secured the eighth place in the league with a record of 14 wins and 25 losses, putting them in the driver’s seat for the final playoff spot. If they win their last game, they will enter the playoffs as the eighth-ranked team in the league.
Both the Mystics and the Sky lost their games in this round, placing them in a disadvantageous position in the race for the playoffs. However, the final round is still full of suspense. The Dream has control over their own fate, while the Mystics and Sky will only have a chance if the Dream loses. In the final round, the Dream faces the Liberty, the Mystics face the Fever, and the Sky faces the Sun.
In the final round, multiple scenarios are possible. If the Dream wins, they will advance to the playoffs.
If the Dream loses, several scenarios could unfold:
If the Mystics beat the Fever, regardless of whether the Sky can defeat the Sun, the Mystics will enter the playoffs;
If the Mystics lose to the Fever, but the Sky beats the Sun, then the Sky will enter the playoffs;
If the Mystics lose to the Fever and the Sky also loses to the Sun, then the Dream will enter the playoffs.
