What happened: The WNBA enters its closing stretch with playoff seeding still unresolved across the standings. With at most three games left for teams, the league's tiebreak procedure remains in play for both postseason qualification and home-court advantage.

Why it matters: That keeps the final days of the schedule consequential well beyond the cut line. Teams that finish on the same record can still see their matchup path and hosting order change once the tiebreak sequence is applied.

What to watch: Watch the closing slate for clusters of teams finishing level in the standings. Any tie at the line sends the bracket picture to the league's ordered tiebreak steps.
