The New York Liberty have clinched the No. 1 overall seed and home-court advantage throughout the WNBA playoffs by virtue of their 87-71 victory over the Washington Mystics on Tuesday night. This is the first time the Liberty have been the No. 1 overall seed since 2015.

More than half of the WNBA playoff seeds are set with the New York Liberty clinching the No. 1 seed. The rest of the postseason matchups will be determined when the regular season closes out. The Liberty topped the Washington Mystics to earn homecourt throughout the playoffs for only the second time in franchise history.

The Liberty (32-7) secured the top spot Tuesday night by beating the Washington Mystics 87-71. This is the first time New York claimed the No. 1 seed since the 2015 WNBA playoffs, which used a different format with top seeds from the Eastern and Western Conferences.
