Kahleah Copper delivered a career night, but the Phoenix Mercury still could not close the deal.

Copper dropped 41 points and 10 rebounds as she and Kelsey Plum became the first opposing players in WNBA history to each score 40+ in the same game. But after a wild fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Sparks dominated overtime and handed Phoenix another brutal loss.

PHNX Mercury crew break down Kah’s historic performance, the late-game execution, Kelsey Plum’s takeover, Alyssa Thomas’ playmaking, Natasha Mack’s impact and what this loss says about the Mercury as they get ready for the Las Vegas Aces.

The Phoenix Mercury suffered one of their most disappointing losses of the season, getting overwhelmed by Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings from start to finish.

Join the PHNX Mercury crew as we break down what went wrong, whether this was simply a rough night or a bigger warning sign, and what Phoenix has to fix before its next game.
