Watch Tamika Catchings unveil WNBA All-Star court Thursday, June 26, 2025, inside the Indianapolis International Airport.<\/p>\n
The Phoenix Mercury lost to the Las Vegas Aces at PHX Arena Sunday, June 29, 84-81, to snap their winning streak at six games.<\/p>\n
Trailing 59-50 entering the fourth quarter, the Mercury put together a 17-3 run to take a 67-62 lead. The Aces battled back and took a 79-78 lead on a pair of A’ja Wilson free throws, but the Mercury’s Kahleah Copper hit a 3-pointer with 1:25 remaining in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
A layup by Jackie Young tied the game, and, after Satou Sabally missed a long 3-point attempt, Wilson hit a driving layup for an 83-81 Las Vegas lead.<\/p>\n
Phoenix’s Sami Whitcomb missed a 3, and the Aces’ Aaliyah Nye hit one of two free throws.<\/p>\n
Whitcomb’s last-second 3-point try missed, and the Mercury fell for the first time in seven games.<\/p>\n
Alyssa Thomas led the way for the Mercury, scoring 16 points on 50% shooting, dishing a team-high eight assists and grabbing seven rebounds. Copper contributed 15 points and six boards, and Sabally had 10 points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n
The WNBA’s reigning MVP, Wilson had game-highs 26 points and 18 rebounds for the Aces (8-8).<\/p>\n
The Mercury (12-5) maintained their hold on second place in the WNBA standings. The third-place New York Liberty (11-5) lost in Atlanta to the Dream earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
The Mercury play next at the WNBA’s 12th-place Dallas Wings (5-13) on July 3 at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Retired WNBA star unveils WNBA All-Star court in Indianapolis International Airport Watch Tamika Catchings unveil WNBA All-Star court…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[22868,2341,22870,5229,5643,1587,21475,4144,160,1589,1502,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,21476,22869],"class_list":{"0":"post-25851","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-aja","9":"tag-aja-wilson","10":"tag-aces","11":"tag-america","12":"tag-arizona","13":"tag-az","14":"tag-las","15":"tag-las-vegas-aces","16":"tag-mercury","17":"tag-phoenix","18":"tag-phoenix-mercury","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa","25":"tag-vegas","26":"tag-wilson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114769617707530604","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
