Dishonorable mentions
Samantha Prahalis led a mediocre performance by the rest of the Mercury squad with 9 points on 3 of 12 shooting… After having a couple of hot shooting nights, Shameka Christon was cold as ice with 0 from 7 on the night (0 from 6 behind the arc)… Usual spark from the bench Jia Perkins was 2 from 11.
