Overview
- Phoenix defeated Seattle 93-73 on Saturday to snap a four-game losing streak and hand the Storm their 10th straight loss.
- Valeriane Ayayi (18 points, 10 rebounds), Noemie Brochant (16 points, 10 assists) and Kahleah Copper (17 points) led the Mercury while Phoenix finished with 26 assists on the night.
- Phoenix pulled away with a 14-0 run to start the third quarter and rested starters in the fourth after building a 20-point edge.
- The Mercury were without guards Monique Akoa Makani because of a left hamstring flare-up and Jovana Nogic, who missed the game for personal reasons and had her contract suspended the same day, forcing heavier reliance on role players.
- Phoenix travels to Indianapolis to play the Indiana Fever next, a matchup that will test whether the Mercury can carry their improved passing and depth against Caitlin Clark and a 9-7 Fever team.
