The Phoenix Mercury finally got back in the win column, beating the Seattle Storm 93-73 for their fifth win of the season, and this one came with a little French flair. Valériane Ayayi and Noémie Brochant brought major energy for Phoenix, giving the Mercury the kind of spark, spacing and bench production they have desperately needed during a frustrating start to the year.
The PHNX Mercury crew break down the much-needed win, Alyssa Thomas setting the tone, the French connection showing out, and whether this version of Phoenix is something real or just a necessary exhale against a struggling Storm team. Plus, the latest on Monique Akoa Makani’s injury and the very strange timing of Jovana Nogić’s contract suspension.
Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!
