Sky coach James Wade voices displeasure with first-round playoff format as Chicago prepares to defend title
The No. 2 seed Chicago Sky will host the No. 7 seed New York Liberty for the first two games of their first-round matchup, which begins Wednesday night, but the series will shift to New York for a potential decisive Game 3.
******
"We worked all year to have home-court advantage," Wade said after practice Tuesday. "If you have a bad game, then home-court advantage goes to the lower seed."
