It was a day of upsets in the WNBA. In four games that took place across venues in the WNBA, all lower-seeded teams defeated their upper-seeded counterparts, pulling off some major upsets. The Connecticut Sun, who are at the bottom of the standings, defeated the tenth-seeded Washington Mystics. In another game, 12th seed Chicago Sky registered a significant win over the reigning champions, New York Liberty. Similarly, the Atlanta Dream defeated the Minnesota Lynx, and in the final game, the Las Vegas Aces took down the Phoenix Mercury. <\/p>
