Alyssa Thomas & Phoenix Mercury Power Past Mystics Ahead Of Big Road Trip

Alyssa Thomas is doing MVP things—again.

The Mercury took care of business in D.C. with a dominant win over the Mystics, and Thomas was the engine behind it all: 27 points, 11 boards, 8 assists, and total control. We break down what made this one of her most complete games, how Natasha Mack’s confidence is changing the Mercury’s interior, and the underrated impact DeWanna Bonner continues to have.

Plus: the 3-point shooting is heating up, the defense looked connected, and Phoenix got meaningful minutes from the bench.

All of it matters with a big road trip on deck—and the playoff picture tightening.
