Parity, or a tale of two halves?

I can't decide if this WNBA season should be called "parity-ville," or "a tale of two halves."

Tonight's result:

The Mercury squeaked past the Sun, 81-80, on a Leilani Mitchell buzzer-beater.

Five games on tap tomorrow:

Mercury at Mystics

Dream at Fever

Lynx at Liberty

Sparks at Shock

Stars at Storm

Lynx:

This is an important weekend for the Lynx, as they face two of the league's best teams.

Mystics:

Tayler Hill is the latest Washington player to be injured, as she sprained her ankle during practice today.

Tierra Ruffin-Pratt discusses the Mystics' need to rebound after tough losses.

Shock:

A playoff berth is within reach for Tulsa. They play Los Angeles at home tomorrow.

Liberty:

Tanisha Wright has come up big for the Liberty this season.

Mercury:

The Mercury's male practice squad is a key to their success.
