Both teams have plenty of playoff experience, the Lynx have reached the finals with Hiedeman (once), Williams (twice), and McBride in 2020.

Despite a recent loss to Los Angeles without Collier or McBride, the Lynx enter the playoffs in great form, winning 14 of their last 16 games. The Mercury, meanwhile, finished with a 3-7 record in their last 10. Minnesota tied with New York for the best home record (16-4), including two wins over Phoenix, who were 9-11 on the road.

The Lynx have had consistent success against Phoenix, winning 26 of their last 31 regular-season matchups and going 6-0 in the playoffs since 2015. Their defense, which limited Phoenix to under 40% shooting and 29% on threes, will be key in the postseason.
