Top-seeded Lynx are eliminated and A'ja Wilson gets into it with a fan | Recapping Tuesday's WNBA playoff action with Sabreena Merchant

Tuesday's WNBA Playoff action was a far cry from what transpired on Saturday. Caitlin Clark led the Indiana Fever to a strong win over the Aces to force a Game 3, while the eighth-seeded New York Liberty stunned the No. 1 seed Minnesota Lynx in a sweep. The Athletic's Sabreena Merchant joined Bleav in the W to recap the action. Top storylines we discuss include how the Minnesota-New York matchup was more about it being a bad matchup than a declaration on either team; Napheesa Collier's future in Minnesota; the Liberty gearing up for a deep run; the good Caitlin Clark showed up; A'ja Wilson held without a shot in a quarter; Wilson's interaction with a Fever fan; and previewing Wednesday's action as the first round continues.
