The Phoenix Mercury did not play their cards right in Vegas, falling 83–61 to the Aces. A’ja Wilson dominated with another double-double as Las Vegas controlled the game from start to finish. Alyssa Thomas kept Phoenix afloat with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists, but it wasn’t enough on a night when the Mercury shot under 30% from the floor. To make matters worse, Kahleah Copper exited early with an injury, leaving Phoenix short-handed and searching for answers. We break down Wilson’s impact, Copper’s setback, and where the Mercury go from here.
