Bill Simmons Rips WNBA Over Costly Decisions Following Caitlin Clark disappointment

The 2024 WNBA Finals tipped off on Thursday night with a Game 1 matchup between the Minnesota Lynx and New York

Liberty. These two WNBA powerhouses faced off in an instant classic. Napheesa Collier and the visiting Lynx ultimately came out on top, taking down Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty with a 95-93 final score in overtime. Unfortunately, the opening game of this championship series likely didn’t have the TV viewership numbers that it deserved. Game 1 tipped off at 8 p.m. ET, just 15 minutes prior to kickoff of a Thursday Night Football matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
