The Phoenix Mercury roar back to life with a gritty 72-63 win over the Connecticut Sun, ending a three-game home skid and snapping their losing streak. DeWanna Bonner explodes for a season-high 21 points, while Kahleah Copper delivers 18, including 12 in the second half to seal the deal. Copper’s clutch free throws and Bonner’s late alley-oop and and-one give the Mercury an eight-point lead with under two minutes left. The Sun, on a two-game win streak, crumble under their own turnovers — 21 giveaways lead to 22 easy points for Phoenix. Brittney Griner’s 19 and Nelson-Ododa’s double-double can’t offset the damage, especially with Aaliyah Edwards exiting early with a knee injury. The Sun’s momentum stalls at 7-19, while the Mercury, now 9-18, look to keep rolling as they head to LA. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
