The Minnesota Lynx are set to host the Seattle Storm on Sunday as part of the 2024 WNBA Commissioner's Cup. The Lynx are looking to even the playing field to get atop the Western Conference bracket, while the Storm are trying to remain undefeated in the in-season tournament.
Minnesota have a 2-1 record in the Commissioner's Cup and a win over Seattle will give them an identical record. It also gives the Lynx an even better chance to come out of the West since the Phoenix Mercury are currently 2-1 and the Las Vegas are 1-1.
On the other hand, the Storm have a lot of momentum on their side and are entering Sunday's game on a six-game winning streak. They most recently defeated the reigning back-to-back WNBA champions Las Vegas Aces 78-65 on Friday.
