Sunday’s game served as a backdrop to Taurasi seeing her No. 3 officially raised to the rafters as she joined the franchise’s illustrious Ring of Honor.</p> <p> </p> <p>There were legends from all corners of the sporting world in attendance, but Phoenix was on the wrong end of an 88-85 decision with the Portland Fire. The Mercury fell to 13-23, meaning they’ll have their fourth losing campaign of the last five seasons.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phoenix was outscored 52-43 in the second half after leading by six at half. DeWanna Bonner was the high scorer on the day her former teammate was honored, but it wasn’t enough.

Making matters worse is that Kelsey Plum was unavailable in the second half as she dealt with left calf tightness. With its third-consecutive loss, Phoenix fell to 12-22 and its fate is all but sealed with just 10 games remaining in the regular season.</p> <p> </p> <p>Less than one year after advancing to the WNBA Finals, the Mercury have a less than 1.0% shot of qualifying for the 2026 playoffs — a sobering reality for those who had high hopes and maintained belief even during early season lows. And while the playoffs are no longer a realistic goal, the focus must shift to the bigger picture as the team’s approach to the offseason looms large on the horizon.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phoenix may not be competing for a playoff spot, but it could use its final 10 games to end the season with positive momentum ahead of such a major offseason. PHNX Mercury’s Gil McGregor and Stephen PridGeon-Garner discuss what lies ahead over this final stretch and all it means moving forward.

The Phoenix Mercury fell to 1-1 on their current five-game trip as they were overpowered by the Atlanta Dream in a 96-82 loss.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phoenix never led in the game and trailed by as many as 20 points in a game where Kelsey Plum saw her first start in a Mercury uniform. The Dream used their size advantage to win the rebounding battle, 38-28, and Angel Reese turned in yet another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.</p> <p> </p> <p>More than on the interior, the Dream sank 14 3s, outscoring the Mercury by 21 points from beyond the arc. Phoenix was led by Plum’s 19 points while DeWanna Bonner turned in a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Mercury are now 12-20 on the season as the uphill climb has gotten steeper.

In her first game in over a month, Plum finished with 20 points (on 6-of-10 shooting) to go along with four assists in just 20 minutes of action.</p> <p> </p> <p>It was much more than just Plum, though, as she was one of three Mercury players with standout performances. Kahleah Copper led the way, pacing Phoenix with a game-high 31 points on 10-of-19 shooting while Alyssa Thomas turned in her 21st regular-season triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists in the contest.</p> <p> </p> <p>Monday’s game gave a glimpse into what the vision of this trio could look like. They made plays down the stretch to earn the win and move to 12-19 on the season. PHNX Mercury’s Gil, Stephen and Kevin will dive into all they saw from the new-look Mercury and all that can be taken from tonight’s game.

With the win, the Mercury have won three straight to move to 11-18 on the season with 15 games remaining.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phoenix’s come-from-behind efforts were paced by Kahleah Copper, who scored 13 of her 27 points in the game’s third frame before fouling out late in the fourth quarter. It wasn’t just Copper, as Alyssa Thomas’ assertiveness on the offensive end resulted in 25 points to go along with nine rebounds and eight assists.</p> <p> </p> <p>On tonight’s PHNX Mercury postgame, Gil, Stephen and Kevin discuss all that went down in a very eventful game.

The frustrating part? Phoenix did a lot of things well enough to win. Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper each scored 15 points, the Mercury forced 17 turnovers, and held New York under 70 points deep into the fourth quarter. But poor shooting, a massive rebounding deficit, and another offensive drought proved too much to overcome.</p> <p> </p> <p>Erika, Stephen & Gil break down what went wrong against the Liberty, whether this losing streak is exposing bigger issues, and what the Mercury need to fix before the season slips away.</p> <p> </p> <p>Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!</p> <p> </p> <p>0:00 - Mercury drop 5th straight game</p> <p>2:30 - Moral victory?</p> <p>4:30 - Reaction to adversity defines a team</p> <p>6:00 - This is NOT tanking.
