Sabally, Thomas Help Phoenix Beat New York 86-60 to Even Best-of-3 WNBA Playoff Series
Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas each scored 15 points as Phoenix improved shooting and dominated the second quarter, holding New York scoreless for most of the third, officials said.
- The Phoenix Mercury defeated the New York Liberty 86-60 on Wednesday night to even their best-of-three WNBA playoff series in New York.
- Phoenix took control after a Game 1 loss on Sunday, during which Breanna Stewart sprained her left knee MCL in overtime but returned to play in Game 2.
- The Mercury had a 36-30 lead at halftime and pushed it to a 19-point advantage with a 13-0 run. In the third quarter, they kept New York from scoring until Emma Meesseman finally broke the drought late in the period.
- The Liberty struggled to find their shot early, failing to convert on their initial dozen attempts, with their starters combining for just 32 points. In the final moments, Natasha Cloud energized the full house—including Spike Lee and Sue Bird—by sinking a corner three-pointer with 1.8 seconds remaining.
- Sabally and Thomas each scored 15 points as Phoenix evened the series, setting up a decisive Game 3 in Phoenix on Friday night with momentum on their side.
