Now you go home to Phoenix and you got a chance to win at home.

You tie this series up.

The narrative is different.

The way this whole series feels is different.

And you should take some confidence in the fact that you could have stolen game one.

You know, so I think for the Phoenix Mercury, it's an overall gut check for this team.

Their bench is typically,

the best bench in the WNBA in the regular season.

They're getting thoroughly outplayed by Jewel Lloyd and Dana Evans.

You know, the big three for the aces, whether it's Jackie Young with 21 points in that third quarter or 32 in a game, or it's a double-double from Asia Wilson, 20 at half.

And for me, it's been Chelsea Gray, who I think they really got to find a way to limit

her control of the game, not only physically, but emotionally, she's so emotionally charged and it's on offense and defense.

You know, she's averaging a near triple double.

She's averaging 10 assists a game.

When the aces are truly cooking over the course of years now,

Chelsea Gray is stirring that pot.

OK, and she's getting steals and blocks and assists and she's hitting big buckets and just screaming and pouring out emotion.

So I think it's going to be key to lower her impact.

And I also want to just tap in on what you said about Alyssa Thomas as well.

In that, you know, I think she's struggled so far in the matchup against Asia Wilson.
