Yes. But needs help. |
I can't decide what result in the late game is better for the Merc. Phoenix can win a tiebreaker over Vegas, but Minnesota's closing schedule is so soft that losing twice more seems impossible.

I’d think a MN loss is more beneficial. I believe Phoenix would leapfrog the Lynx if LV were to win.

They'd be tied in the loss column and the Lynx own the tiebreaker. I'm leaning a little towards that being a better result for Phoenix.
If Vegas wins, Phoenix needs the Aces to lose to both Chicago and Dallas AND the Lynx to lose to either Indiana or Washington.
If Minnesota wins, Phoenix needs the Aces to lose to either Chicago or Dallas AND the Lynx to lose twice in their last four (three against Indiana, one against Washington).

| Imagine a 4 way tie at 22-10. 5 way tie can't happen since SEA and PHX can't win out.

Can't be a five way because Phoenix and Seattle have a game against each other left. Connecticut wins any four way tie breaker.

| Personally I'm routing for the Aces in that game. I'm hoping CT finishes 1st and Seattle finishes 3rd (other side of the bracket from CT)
