The New York Liberty made the night’s biggest statement, overwhelming the Las Vegas Aces 111-71 in the most lopsided result of Sunday’s five-game WNBA slate.
Across the league, offense drove the conversation. Portland reached 100 in a 100-93 win over Seattle, Minnesota cleared the century mark in a 103-90 victory over Dallas, and Washington controlled Phoenix 95-75. Golden State closed the night by going on the road and beating Los Angeles 84-78.
Liberty deliver the headline result
New York’s 40-point win over Las Vegas stood apart from the rest of the schedule. The Liberty posted the highest team total of the night with 111 points while holding the Aces to 71, creating a margin that reflected control on both ends.
In a matchup with major profile, New York did not merely win — it separated early enough and decisively enough to turn the game into the defining result of the night. For Las Vegas, the 71-point output marked the lowest score among Sunday’s losing teams.
Portland outlasts Seattle in a 193-point game
Portland beat the Seattle Storm 100-93 in one of the night’s most competitive high-scoring games. The seven-point margin was the narrowest among the four games won by home teams, with both sides generating enough offense to keep pressure on the scoreboard throughout.
Portland’s ability to reach 100 proved decisive. In a game where Seattle also produced at a strong clip, the home side found just enough separation to finish off a key 100-93 result.
Mystics handle Mercury with 20-point win
Washington controlled Phoenix 95-75, pairing efficient scoring volume with a defensive result that kept the Mercury from matching pace. The 20-point margin gave the Mystics one of the cleanest wins of the night.
While the Liberty’s blowout commanded the spotlight, Washington’s result carried its own weight: a comfortable home win built on separation and sustained control.
Lynx top Wings behind another 100-point performance
Minnesota joined New York and Portland as the third team to hit triple digits, beating Dallas 103-90. The Lynx created enough offensive distance to withstand a 90-point night from the Wings, finishing with a 13-point cushion.
Dallas scored well enough to stay in range, but Minnesota’s 103 points gave the Lynx the scoring edge they needed in another offense-forward result.
Valkyries win on the road in Los Angeles
Golden State earned the night’s lone road win, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 84-78. In a slate otherwise controlled by home teams, the Valkyries’ six-point victory stood out for its location and late-game value.
The matchup was the lowest-scoring game of the night, but it produced one of the most meaningful results structurally: Golden State went into Los Angeles and came away with a tight win while holding the Sparks under 80 points.
