WNBA set for wild dash to regular season finish

NEW YORK — The WNBA’s final week of the regular season is shaping up to be a wild dash to the finish.
Playoff seeding and the final playoff spot are still up for grab.
About the only thing that has been decided when it comes to the postseason is Seattle will have a bye to the semifinals. Atlanta is close to wrapping up a top two seed, but finishes the season with two more games on the road. Washington, Connecticut, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Minnesota are all jockeying for a first-round bye.
Dallas is fading fast, only leading Las Vegas by a game for the final playoff spot.
It also has been a busy week off the court with Dallas firing coach Fred Williams after a loss in Washington and Lindsay Whalen announcing her retirement at the end of the season.
