If the postseason started Saturday, the Dream would open a best-of-three, first-round series at Gateway Center Arena against the Fever, a team they’ve split the regular-season series with. As the higher seed, the Dream would host games 1 and 3 in the projected series while the Fever would host Game 2.

The two teams decided to put on a show for the Canadian audience, with the Storm holding on to beat the Dream 80-78. The win was not only a victory for Pacific Northwest dominance, but also ended a six-game losing streak for Seattle — while also snapping a six-game winning streak for Atlanta.
