The Phoenix Mercury had the Atlanta Dream on the ropes… until the fourth quarter completely flipped the game. Phoenix led by as many as 15 and carried a lead into the final period before Atlanta caught fire late, escaping with a two-point win after shooting a ridiculous 71% from three in the fourth quarter.
Meghan Hall of USA Today joins the show to break down Atlanta’s late-game execution, why the Dream have become one of the toughest teams in the WNBA to put away, and what this loss revealed about where the Mercury stand in 2026.
Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!
