WNBA playoffs bracket: First-round matchups, schedule, results

The WNBA playoffs continue and will feature an exciting matchup between the top-seeded New York Liberty and the defending champions, the No. 4 seed Las Vegas Aces, in the semifinals.

Following their impressive victories in the first round, the Liberty and the Aces are set to clash in a best-of-five series. New York’s sweep of Atlanta and Las Vegas’s similar triumph against Seattle have set the stage for an electrifying semifinal showdown.
