 With the victory, the Lynx were crowned as just the fourth Commissioner's Cup champs in WNBA history. The W's in-season tournament was unveiled only in 2021 as a series of in-conference games leading up to a final match between the league's top performers. Status, records, and a $500,000 prize pool are all at stake in the annual tourney. In its inaugural season, the Seattle Storm hoisted the Commissioner's Cup banner.
