A lot needs to change to get a win and Chicago. We saw some some flashes of Mercury basketball, but they need to get it together. Especially with Sloot, she’s an absolute killer. (Turner does a great job on Parker, and Sophie seemed to get in Copper’s head)
The Suns players are adorable, and you can tell they’re there because they want to be - not for the photo.

Despite the ugly shooting numbers, Diggins was the key to Phoenix winning. For all the talk about Vandersloot's great decision making, Diggins was making the right moves all night.

@pilight what is BG's winning percentage when she dunks on a game? I'm sure that 2 dunk loss to start her career didn't help.

We barely won in OT on home court with a lot of lucky breaks from the refs. They're gonna have to have a dominant lights out game 3 to stay in this or it's Sky in 4.

Stevens' and-1 (without the free throw) were the only points by a Sky post player after Dolson's 3 with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. That's 2 combined points by Parker, Stevens and Dolson in the last 12 minutes. That's the game right there.

They didn't get Copper a shot in OT. That's the brilliant Sloot decision making they were praising.

Oh yeah, she got one which was an easy Griner block. Most teams try to get their leading scorer more involved down the stretch.

She made the right decisions in the fourth quarter and overtime. She wasn’t good prior
They all came together in the fourth though. And there were moments of Phoenix basketball throughout, and that is Skylar.

Phoenix is playing Sloot for the pass. But when Dolson is on the floor to set moving screens, they can’t defend either.
Also,Phoenix’s strength is post defense. It should be hard to score on us in the paint.
