The Phoenix Mercury just handed the New York Liberty a rare loss — and they did it without Kahleah Copper. Alyssa Thomas was the heart, soul, and muscle of the win, dominating both ends of the floor and putting the league on notice: she belongs in every MVP conversation. Erika and Stephen break down AT’s impact, how Monique Akoa Makani & Kit Laksa stepped up, and what this win says about the Mercury’s identity when their leader is sidelined. Plus: a look ahead at the Chicago matchup and where Phoenix stands in the playoff picture.
