Mercury Set 3-Point Record, Face Aces Next

The Phoenix Mercury set a new WNBA record by making 35 three-pointers over two consecutive games, including 18 in a 106-91 win over the New York Liberty. Satou Sabally led the Mercury with 25 points, hitting 7 of 10 threes, while Alyssa Thomas had 17 points and tied the franchise assist record with 15. The Mercury’s NBA-influenced offense has sparked a six-game winning streak and improved their record to 12-6, despite injuries to key players. The Liberty, now having lost four of their last five, were unable to contain the Mercury's shooting, with stars Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu struggling. The Las Vegas Aces, led by standout A'ja Wilson and looking to rebound from a recent loss, are set to face the Mercury next. The Mercury’s record-breaking surge and strong team chemistry have established them as a rising force in the WNBA.
