How The Mercury Had Their Season High In Points

The Phoenix Mercury had a strong season, achieving impressive wins against teams such as the Golden State Valkyries, the New York Liberty, and the Seattle Storm, with victories in both close games and blowouts.

Their success led to a deep playoff run, where they defeated the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx but were ultimately swept 4-0 by the Las Vegas Aces in the championship series, resulting in a runner-up finish.

Despite the loss, the Mercury demonstrated resilience and potential for future championships, adapting their roster effectively even in the absence of key players like Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner.

The team finished the regular season with a 27-17 record, performing well both at home and on the road, and showcased high-scoring offensive capabilities throughout the year.

Notably, their highest-scoring game was a 106-point victory over the New York Liberty, part of a season series where they went 3-1 against them, including an 89-81 road win in their first meeting led by Monique Akoa Makani's 21 points.

In other key games, they secured a 104-86 road win against the Chicago Sky with Sami Whitcomb as the leading scorer (17 points), and in their second win over the Liberty, Satou Sabally led with 25 points, supported by a balanced effort with five players scoring in double figures, including Alyssa Thomas (17 points, 15 assists, 9 rebounds), Whitcomb (15 points), Kitija Laksa (13 points), and Kahleah Copper (12 points).
