After dominating the Mercury in the Best of 7, Las Vegas wins with four-of-a-kind Aces high! The Mercury clawed back in the 4th but could not stay composed enough to fight, despite coming within 6 PTS. Messy game, it needed to end tonight. PHX Copper with 30, LVA Wilson 31 PTS.

Phoenix Mercury claws back Q3 24-22, with better defense and chippier play. Score back to within 14, despite Tibbets being 86'd, PHX's Copper is adding 🔥 to the game!

Phoenix Mercury Nate Tibbets has been ejected for yelling in the face of an official.

Second Coach in the postseason to be ejected, besides Lynx Coach Reeve in Game 3 of the Semis.

Las Vegas is raining another 3 PT game over Phoenix, out-rebounding & out-shooting an out-coached Mercury. Down the first half of what's looking like a 🧹, the Mercury needs to find their focus to come back & bring the fire. NGL, the Semi's were better.
LVA Wilson 14, PHX Thomas 11 PTS but hurt.

Mercury Satou Sabally ruled out of Game 4 on Friday for concussion protocol.

Phoenix heated up with 5 minutes left in the 4th, bringing the game to a tie. After losing Sabally, the Mercury rallies in her absence to bring the fire. But far too late, as Wilson secures the final shot. PHX's Bonner with 25, was in her prime, &
LVA Wilson with 34 PTS outplayed the defense.

Phoenix Mercury still trying to get things hot enough to threaten the Aces, with 9-3's already & halfway to a Game 3 win. Clock issues tonight slowing the pace & Tibbets earned a "T" mad about it. The Aces with a 12 point lead, eyeing the brooms off court. PHX Sabally has 15, LVA Wilson with 18 PTS.

"Multiple sources contacted by ESPN said Collier had relayed Engelbert's comments to them within several days of the February meeting."

This is why Englebert is not suing. It happened. This was said. Englebert remaining as commissioner is the NBA standing on one side. The players on the other.

Battle of the paint, Las Vegas and Phoenix in hand-to-hand combat beneath the net. The Aces were slow to warm up but in the 2nd quarter, held PHX to 10 points. LVA Wilson with 20, PHX's Copper with 15 PTS. Getting a little chippy too. Mercury's AT is not happy with her 3 fouls from guarding A'ja.

The series begins, with a strong early showing by PHX. But LVA caught up & took the lead at the end, when the Mercury blew the 4th quarter. AT missed crucial free throws, sealing the Aces' win. LVA's A'ja, Evans (5-3's) & PHX's Copper (5-3's), had 21 points. The Aces appear steady. PHX not so much.

Caitlin addresses her health, Collier's statement, & Englebert's lack of outreach to mitigate complaints about her failure to demonstrate concern for players. Clark expresses interest in the European league. Englebert has weakend the WNBA stronghold on USA WBB. Pathetic.

Stephen A.'s perspective is wide-reaching & impactful. Worth a listen. Note: it's loud.

Caveat: Mad Dog demonstrates sexist & outdated opinions ala Archie Bunker. Time to retire before the lawsuits retire you.

What a game 5! A head-to-head match of lead changes & back-to-back baskets, including IND losing Mitchell & LVA's Loyd injured (able to return). No one knew the tension would get this high or give us a contentious overtime. But alas, Indiana has to go home, while the Aces take on PHX in the finals.

Indiana is amazing. Vegas is hungry. 86 - 86.
