Five days into the WNBA's stretch run, moves are already being made. The once-unbeatable Sparks have lost two in a row and four of five. The defending champion Lynx have re-assumed first place. The once-struggling Mercury have won three straight. But during this sprint to the finish, it's important to not lose sight of the marathon. Despite L.A. relinquishing the No. 1 seed, Nneka Ogwumike remains atop the fourth-to-last Race to the MVP thanks to her body of work throughout the season.
