Phoenix Mercury Set Consecutive Game 3-Point Records Against New York Liberty

The Phoenix Mercury set a new WNBA record by making 35 three-pointers over two consecutive games, including a franchise-record 18 three-pointers in a 106-91 victory over the New York Liberty. Satou Sabally led the Mercury with 25 points, shooting 7 of 10 from beyond the arc, while Alyssa Thomas contributed 17 points and tied the team's assist record with 15. The Mercury's performance extended their winning streak to six games and showcased their evolving playing style emphasizing spacing, playmaking, and shooting. Despite a strong effort from the Liberty, including 17 points from Breanna Stewart and a career-high 16 points from Nyara Sabally, they struggled to contain the Mercury's prolific outside shooting. Liberty stars Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu were ineffective early, with Ionescu hampered by a neck injury. The Mercury's dominant offense and efficient shooting highlighted their continued rise as a formidable team this season.
