The New York Liberty host the Seattle Storm at the Barclays Center on Thursday. New York was the first team to clinch a playoff spot this season, and the Storm made their way soon after and is currently ranked fifth overall. However, Seattle has struggled in its past 10 games despite its impressive defense and is 5-5.
Both teams have faced each other twice this regular season, with the Liberty winning both the matchups. The contest on Thursday marks the final time the two teams will meet during the regular season.
NY has been the team to beat this edition and it will look to fine-tune its plans for the playoffs, while Seattle will need to figure out a way to get wins against the best teams.
The Storm's offense has often come up short against the top sides. With just seven games remaining in the regular season, time is running out for Seatle.
