With the end of the WNBA 2025 regular season in sight, numerous showdowns on Tuesday's five-game slate feature critical playoff implications. One such instance involves the playoff-bubbling Seattle Storm hosting the Golden State Valkyries . Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET from Climate Pledge Arena.
The Storm (22-21), who have lost two straight, have another opportunity to clinch a playoff berth Tuesday with a victory over Golden State. They are coming off an 84-76 home loss to the New York Liberty in which they squandered a 47-39 halftime lead as the Liberty closed with a 25-16 edge in the fourth quarter.
"We need to come out and compete. If we don't do that, we don't belong in the playoffs," Storm guard Skylar Diggins told the media following the loss to New York.
