Since the Connecticut Sun won their Friday contest over the Minnesota Lynx and currently hold the routine period tiebreaker over the Triggers, L. A. would require a win Sunday and for the Phoenix Mercury to win Sunday versus the New York Liberty to get the 4 seed-- the Stimulates would win a three-way sudden death with the Sun and Mercury having the very best document against. 500-or-better teams. A loss Sunday would indicate the Triggers play Tuesday in the first round as either the 5 or 6 seed. A Sparks win and a Mercury loss would net L. A. the 5 seed, as Connecticut holds the head-to-head sudden death over the Triggers currently.
