This year in the playoffs, the top-eight teams enter a more traditional bracket with the top seed playing the lowest seed and so forth. The first round is now a best-of-three series versus last season's one-and-done format.
In last year's series, Phoenix defeated Las Vegas three to two in a best-of-five-game series that saw Las Vegas win game one, drop the next two before tying the series and then lose in an exciting game five.
For Las Vegas, stars A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum have to be motivated to return the favor to Phoenix this season as they face a significantly more vulnerable team.
In the season series this year, Las Vegas won all three games (all before June 1st) by a total margin of 292-242.
