Most recently, the Mercury defeated the Liberty 89-81, with Monique Akoa-Makani leading the team in scoring with 21 points. Alyssa Thomas continued her tear as well, scoring 18 points to go with 15 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.<\/p>\n While the Sky have been getting a lot of national attention, they’ve been struggling on the court. Chicago has lost four of their last five games, with the lone exception being a 78-66 over Connecticut, highlighted by a triple-double by Angel Reese (11 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists). The 3-point shot has been a significant issue, with the Sky shooting just 30% from outside the arc, ranking 11th in the WNBA, while allowing opponents to shoot 39.1%, the worst amongst all WNBA clubs.<\/p>\n This will be the second matchup of the season between the two teams, with the Mercury defeating the Sky 94-89 on May 27, 2025.<\/p>\n![\"Phoenix](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/phoenix-mercury.jpg\")
