The Chicago Sky and Las Vegas Aces have maintained themselves at the top of the WNBA league table. “Sky” represents the Eastern Conference, whereas “Las Vegas” represents the Western Conference. All the twelve teams in the competition have played 25 matches, with only a few left before the playoffs start. Even this season, the defending champion Chicago Sky appears to be in command. If they continue to play like this, then they might win the WNBA championship for the second time in a row. They are at the top of their division by quite a margin, and it looks like the spot isn’t going to go anywhere else.
Whereas the western conference appears to be more competitive. Even though the Las Vegas Aces are on top, the Seattle Storm are not very far behind. Things can change very quickly in the coming matches if the Aces get a little complacent. With the playoffs just around the corner, anything is possible at this moment. The Seattle Storm is a veteran team when it comes to turning things around. The league has become very interesting at this moment and the upcoming games will decide the fate of the teams. There are still many holes left to be filled before the playoffs arrive. So it is anybody’s game right now.
Let us look at the teams and how they have fared up till now.
