Liberty vs Dream, Aces vs Storm on Tuesday

After an exciting first day of the postseason, another day of the WNBA playoffs is upon us.

The first round continues with two games on Tuesday, and five of the previous MVP winners are on the court. The uniqueness of the WNBA playoffs also means that two teams – the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces – could secure their spot in the semifinals, as the first round is a best-of-three series. Should the Liberty and Aces win, it will be a finals rematch. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream and Seattle Storm will fight for their seasons and try to take the first step of an unlikely upset.
