The Mercury ended their two-game losing streak with an 85-82 win at the Seattle Storm, holding onto the No. 4 seed in the WNBA. Alyssa Thomas put on a show with her fifth triple-double of the season, scoring 19 points to go with 10 rebounds, 11 assists, and three steals. Thomas had made headlines earlier in the month when she produced three consecutive triple-doubles.

Golden State, while in control of its destiny, is in a precarious position as the No. 7 seed in the WNBA, holding a two-game lead on the 10th-seeded Washington Mystics. With just 10 games remaining, every game is important. Their last outing snapped their four-game winning streak, with a 79-63 loss to the red-hot Atlanta Dream. Golden State got 16 points from Veronica Burton, but the team shot just 35% from the field and 24.1% from the 3-point line in the loss.

These teams have squared off twice so far this season, with the Mercury coming out on top both times.
