On October 5, the Phoenix Mercury suffered their second consecutive 2025 WNBA<\/a> Finals loss as they went down 91-78 against the Las Vegas Aces in Game 2 of the series. With the defeat, the Mercury are now trailing the series 0-2, and are desperately looking to rebound before it slips away. However, despite the loss, there was an upside to Sunday\u2019s game for Mercury in the form of Alyssa Thomas\u2019 two playoff records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thomas surpassed Courtney Williams to become the all-time Postseason assists leader with 391 assists. Vandersloot has 390 assists, and she hit the mark in 61 games. As Thomas recorded her fifth assist in Game 2, she surpassed the mark set by Vandersloot and grabbed the top spot in just 56 games. The remaining three players in the top five are Chelsea Gray (380), Sue Bird (364), and Lindsay Whalen (340).\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to it, Thomas slipped into the sixth spot on all-time Postseason field goals made list as she finished with five-of-nine field goals. Thomas now has 367 FGM, and she is above Selimone Augustus, who is in the seventh spot with 362 FGM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mercury Head Coach Nate Tibbets Defends Alyssa Thomas\u2019 Playing Style After Game 2 Loss\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alyssa Thomas has time and again been painted as a villain due to her playing style. Even during the semifinals Game 3 against the Minnesota Lynx, she was blamed for Napheesa Collier\u2019s injury. Notably, Collier rolled her ankle after an incidental contact with Thomas. While no foul was given and it wasn\u2019t even intentional, fans and fraternity blamed her for the injury that ended Collier\u2019s season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover, her statement about physicality during the WNBA playoffs added fuel to the fire. The 33-year-old has always been blamed for her style of basketball , but Mercury head coach Nate Tibbets has always come in defense of her. Once again, after the Game 2 loss, he stepped in to defend Thomas and heaped praise on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no holding back AT,\u201d Tibbets said after the Game 2 loss.<\/a> \u201cShe is who she is, that\u2019s why we love her. That\u2019s why she\u2019s the player that she is. You know, the thing that I just get disappointed in is hearing. Our officials say that she\u2019s hard to officiate because she plays so physical right. We want her to be at because she\u2019s a hell of a player and we want her playing with that downhill force.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, Thomas has emerged as a force to be reckoned with ever since she moved to the Mercury. She finished the 2025 regular season with an average of 15.4 ppg, and the number has significantly gone up in the postseason. Thomas is averaging 17.2 points per game, 8.3 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game, leading her team across various statistical categories including rebounds, assists, and steals.<\/p>\n
