In a preview of the probable Western Conference Finals, LA took down Seattle.

"This is one of those games that doesn't mean anything, but it does, " Sue Bird said. "It has no meaning standings-wise, but for momentum, we had a big crowd tonight and obviously we wanted to come out and put on a good show and win. This loss just fires us up."

In the first round, Seattle will face either Minnesota or Sacto, depending on how Sunday's games work out. Coach Donovan would prefer the Lynx. "I'm not particularly fond of Arco Arena," she said.
