Secrets Behind Mercury’s Sudden Surges That Could Change Everything
The Mercury had their own really interesting path to the Finals. This is a team that was dealing with injuries and players in and out of the lineup. They have also been accused of being a bit of a dirty squad. Either way, the team started the season pretty strong, jumping out to a 12-4 record. From there, they were fairly streaky, winning a few in a row and dropping a few in a row. The team has a three-headed monster with Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, and Satou Sabally combining to lead the way. They added Dewanna Bonner in the middle of the season to give them another veteran presence on the roster. After dropping the series opener against the Liberty, they won the next two games, knocking off the champion from last year. Then they took out the Lynx, this year’s favorite, and last year’s runner-up for the championship. They also took out Naphesa Collier, part of the reason for the bad rap. It really wasn’t a foul, and things happen, but it was a physical series, and the Mercury won three straight to get where they are today. Now they need to find a way to win four of the next five games if they want to stay alive.Â
