The Mercury have done it again! After a slow start to the season, the Mercury have secured their second consecutive win after a dramatic comeback against the Storm.
The Mercury started off the game looking sluggish and were down by as much as 11 points in the first half. However, the Mercury managed to turn things around and went into halftime with a two-point lead.
The second half saw the Mercury continue to dominate, outscoring the Storm by 12 points. The Mercury’s defense was particularly impressive, holding the Storm to just 33% shooting from the field.
The Mercury’s offense was led by guard Diana Taurasi, who scored 22 points and dished out seven assists. Forward DeWanna Bonner also had a great game, scoring 18 points and grabbing nine rebounds.
The Mercury’s win was a total team effort, with all five starters scoring in double figures. The team also had great contributions from their bench, with guard Leilani Mitchell scoring 11 points and forward Essence Carson adding 10.
The Mercury’s win was a huge confidence boost for the team, and they will look to keep their momentum going as they face the Sparks on Friday. With the way they are playing, it looks like the Mercury are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs this season.
