The WNBA slate on June 28 delivered volume, pace and one finish that stood above the rest. Washington outlasted Portland 124-123 in a one-point game, Indiana overwhelmed Los Angeles 111-87, and Seattle handled Atlanta 105-90 in a night defined by offensive pressure and decisive home-floor performances.
Across six games, four home teams won, but the road sides made their mark as Minnesota beat Dallas 85-77 and Las Vegas took down Chicago 107-99. Golden State closed the night with a 76-67 win over New York, holding the Liberty to the lowest scoring total of the slate.
Fever Set the Tone With 24-Point Win
Indiana opened one of the night’s clearest statements with a 111-87 win over Los Angeles. The Fever’s 111 points marked the second-highest team total of the slate, trailing only Washington’s 124, and their 24-point margin was the largest of the night.
For Indiana, the result was not just about scoring output. It was about control. A 24-point final margin against a Sparks team that still reached 87 points points to sustained offensive efficiency and enough defensive resistance to prevent the game from tightening late.
Storm Keep Atlanta at Arm’s Length
Seattle also crossed the 100-point mark, beating Atlanta 105-90. The Storm joined Indiana, Washington and Las Vegas as teams to hit triple digits, turning their home matchup into another high-tempo result on a night packed with scoring.
The 15-point margin gave Seattle one of the more comfortable wins of the evening. Atlanta’s 90 points were enough to stay competitive in many settings, but not against a Storm team that kept generating separation on the scoreboard.
Mystics Edge Portland in the Game of the Night
Washington’s 124-123 win over Portland was the clear centerpiece of the schedule. It was the highest-scoring game of the night by a wide margin and the only contest decided by a single point.
Portland’s 123 points would have beaten every other team on the slate. Instead, Washington found just enough offense to survive. In a game with virtually no margin for error, the Mystics finished with the night’s highest team total and escaped with the most dramatic result of the evening.
Lynx and Aces Win on the Road
Minnesota earned an 85-77 road win over Dallas, one of the lower-scoring games on the schedule. The Lynx held the Wings below 80 points, a notable contrast on a night when four teams scored at least 105.
Las Vegas followed with a 107-99 win at Chicago. The Aces’ offense reached triple digits, while the Sky fell just short of joining the 100-point group. The eight-point margin reflected a competitive game, but Las Vegas had enough scoring punch to finish the job away from home.
Valkyries Shut Down Liberty
Golden State closed the slate with a 76-67 win over New York. It was the lowest-scoring game of the night and the only matchup in which neither team reached 80 points.
The Valkyries’ defensive result stood out immediately. New York’s 67 points were the fewest by any team on the schedule, giving Golden State a distinct identity on a night otherwise driven by explosive scoring totals.
