What a heck of an opening round of postseason basketball we just witnessed.
Each series provided its hint of suspicion, including Vegas nearly trailing an undermanned Phoenix Mercury in the fourth quarter of Game 1, the Sky and Sun surviving win-or-go-home games on the road, and the Storm putting away a sneaky longshot-favorite in Elena Delle Donne and the Mystics.
But when the dust settled, all four of the higher-seeded teams were left standing. And as we roll into the semis, the action is only going to get better.
Can the Aces and Sun make it to the Finals to amend for their disappointing semifinal exits a year ago? Or will the Sky and Storm make it back to the finals for a shot at another title?
