How to Watch First Round, Game 2: Lynx at Valkyries: Stream WNBA Live, TV Channel

The Minnesota Lynx look to close out a first round sweep of the Golden State Valykries on Wednesday.

If the surprising Golden State Valkyries are to get a season-extending victory on Wednesday night, it won’t come at “Ballhalla,” as the Chase Center in San Francisco came to be known during the expansion club’s inaugural campaign. Golden State finished 14-8 at the Chase Center this season on its way to a 23-21 record and the eighth seed in the WNBA playoffs. But due to the Laver Cup international tennis competition scheduled for the arena, Game 2 against the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx will take place nearly 50 miles south at the SAP Center in San Jose.
