Alyssa Thomas Posts Consecutive Triple-Doubles as Phoenix Mercury Beat Connecticut Sun

Alyssa Thomas recorded her second consecutive triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists, leading the Phoenix Mercury to an 82-66 victory over the Connecticut Sun. Thomas now holds 14 career triple-doubles in the regular season and four in the playoffs, far surpassing any other WNBA player, with a total of 50 triple-doubles in league history. Satou Sabally added 23 points on efficient shooting for Phoenix, while DeWanna Bonner and Kahleah Copper contributed 18 and 15 points respectively. The Mercury dominated early, limiting Connecticut to just 13% shooting in the first quarter and taking a commanding 26-6 lead in the second. Despite a brief rally led by Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey, the Sun never closed the gap after falling behind early. Phoenix continues its home stretch with a matchup against the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever, while Connecticut prepares to face Los Angeles.
