Another double-digit comeback, this time built on lockdown defense and a career night from undrafted rookie Lexi Held, who casually dropped 24 points like she’s been doing this.

Erika and Stephen unpack the rise of Held, how Satou Sabally’s leadership is setting the tone, and why Phoenix might just be the most chaotic fun team in the league right now.

Then, @christanwnba joins the show to preview the Mercury’s third matchup of the season with the Seattle Storm. What’s changed since the last time these teams faced off? Who’s stepping up for Seattle, and what Phoenix needs to do to keep the comeback train rolling?
