WNBA Playoffs
The third round of the 2021 WNBA playoffs are well underway and we can finally breathe easy with the single-game elimination rounds behind us. And I think it’s safe to say these playoffs have absolutely DELIVERED so far. Truly never a dull moment.
The semifinals of the 2021 playoffs continued last night and here’s what went down… The Connecticut Sun pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 79-68 win over the Chicago Sky to even the series 1-1. Later on, the Phoenix Mercury put together a dominant performance to beat the Las Vegas Aces 117-91 to ALSO tie their series at 1-1.
With game threes coming up on Sunday, I’m curious to see which teams will take the series lead by the end of the weekend.
WNBA playoff games the weekend:
Connecticut Sun vs. Chicago Sky - Sunday at 1pm ET
Las Vegas Aces vs. Phoenix Mercury - Sunday at 3pm ET
Tune in as the third round of the WNBA playoffs continue, Sunday at 1pm and 3pm ET on ESPN, ESPN+, SN2 or with the WNBA League Pass!
Figure Skating: Skate Ontario Sectional Series
This weekend, Ontario’s best figure skaters take the ice for the 2021 Skate Ontario Sectional Series.
The skaters ranking consists of a combination of scores from the Short Program, Rhythm Dance, Pattern Dance and the Free Program from the same event. The highest overall score from each athlete/team will be used to create a final ranking order for qualification in each category and discipline to the 2022 Skate Ontario Sectional Championships.
These competitors are the best of the best in Ontario figure skating. I can’t wait to be entertained by the talent and rising stars on the ice this weekend.
Check out the 2021 Skate Ontario Sectional Series on Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 9am ET on CBC Sports!
