Recap Games: Phoenix Mercury Loses Games 1, 76-69

Merkur Phoenic opened his first, the best series of playoffs against New York freedom, and for a moment he would take a match in the second quarter, and when the fourth quarter began, and when the fourth quarter began.

Then the game tightened. And so is Mercury.

Both teams fought down the Isheri, trading stopped and missed opportunities. Freedom scratched 10 points together in the fourth. Phoenix managed only 8, goes 3-16 off the field, leaving the door filled with open to someone to take it.

If someone could be Alissa Thomas. With the ball in her hands on the final possession of the Regulation, she took the color, freely, and found himself staring at the rim for what was supposed to get the mood in the game. He rolled off. A moment – and the game – slipped.

Overtime belonged to New York. Liberty Outscored Phoenix 11-4 In the optional box, sealing 76-69 victory and sending live back to room with a locker with a long list of IFS. Thomas ended with 14 points, 9 jumps and 8 helps, but not the result wanted.

“It’s just an unfortunate roll. I’ve made it hit thousands of times, but it’s not a big deal for me,” Thomas said after the game. “There’s still a lot of basketball play.”

It was an icy night night for Phoenix, shot 32.5% and 23.1% of three. Copper Kahleah has gone 5-13, while Satou sabally endured brutal performance 2-17 and finished Tim-worst -18.

New York was led by former Mercury Guard Natasha Cloud, which poured into 23 points against his old team. Breanna Stewart added 18 years, and Sabrina Ionescu moved in 16 years to give freedom to the edge.

Now the series is transferred to a large apple, where the game 2 in Madison Square Garden was large. The victory and lively brings the fight back to Phoenix. Get lost and the season ends on Broadway.
