Phoenix Mercury WIN Highlights vs. Connecticut Sun | August 5, 2025

couple of 20point games. Nine for 19 from beyond the arc as well. There it is and one. Welcome back to the court. Sauti at wants to push all the way to the cup grabbing the offensive rebound. She does what she does and that is rebound, deflect, rim protect to the rim. Copper K, thanks so much. You kind of run out of superlatives for Alyssa Thomas. as Copper splashes along the triple assist at Look at that block inside on Westbell. River showing her athleticism. Nate Tibbitz coming out of that timeout making a lot of substitutions. Nate Tibbitz told us that he wants her he she’ll play eight and then off four eight and four. So just to rest her for those little minutes, but Bonner getting the shot and done the production that she has had. Great defense by at on Charles. Tina throws her away. Here comes Thomas. So tough inside and she’ll take it right at Hartley and score. Kind of where she started. Annie Tina Charles and they’re loving having her back wearing sungeear. Bonner again. Uh-huh. Historically against some of the WNBA greats what Thomas is doing to surpass them in so many categories. There’s the flip. Bonner. Oh, I thought she’d pull the trigger. Plenty of time though on that shot clock. Does it now three for three and Nate Tibbitz was asked about it. He said, “Look at we it wasn’t a trade, but we feel that Dana Bonner was a big piece for us.” That’s great stuff, Andy. All the way to the cup. Nothing working for Connecticut. And I mean nothing. Two for 16 from the floor. Savely. Bam. Maby with consecutive buckets. There’s the roll. Saw two. Great pass and read from Mac and Saw to connect. 22 to nine after one. And then kind of slowly but surely, Connecticut got back into it. Oh, pretty play by Coppers. Number three, Dean Bonner. There it is. And Charles, let’s tip our cap. Number one rebounder in W history. What an assist. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah. In the first half. Five now for 18 at looking for a cutter finding one and Bonner scoring that report. Third quarter commencing. Look at that. Just another great read. M and Sally connecting absolutely nothing in game one when these two clubs met in mid June and she’s doing her thing tonight. Save just bullies her way to the basket. What a bounceback game for Savi. And on Q. Here’s Sautu with the pick. Saw two again strong to the cup. Rotations work well where their positions are, where the cuts are going to come. Good aggressive defense by AT. Look at just all over Hartley. Live ball. Here comes Savali. Flips it. Ale MCI three. Yeah. Thomas. Just a matter of time before she collects another triple double. Copper off the kick and hits. Just rises above the defense. Mabber’s getting out of the heat, but only two seconds. Sabi rises up and hits against Charles. Oh, what a stick. And she’s fouled. Go to the line. Sautu. 60-32. Copper now with 11. Sly with the big blocks. Boy, she was just scrambling all over the place. Brown and held checking in for Tibbitz and the Mercury. Wickham, you knew the second it left her hand, but they’re not into an offense. They’re taking too long. Seven on the shot clock. Sabi all the way to the rack and scoring. She’s got 21. You got to take care of the bounce ball. I guess this Connecticut team, they’ve got active hands. There it is for Bonner. Del did a nice job getting good position defensively. Oh, nice pass. There it is. Maby switching hands. Sheldon triple short. At chases it down. This could be it. And it is with the points. I mean, Connecticut has been a good team to to watch plays tonight. The hands of Savi, who’s had herself quite a game with the 21 points in counting.
