WNBA Finals Showdown: Can the Underdog Mercury Dethrone the Dominant Aces?

Huff: While I could roll with the Mercury’s dominant defense being the reason why they run through the tape and earn their fourth WNBA championship, the more obvious factor, I believe, is receiving the best version of Satou Sabally. In the Mercury’s two playoff losses, she’s averaging 9.5 points on 5-of-28 shooting (17.9 percent); in the five wins, she’s up to 21.2 points on 31-of-69 from the field (44.9 percent). With her shooting stroke and ability to get downhill as a 6-foot-4 wing, Sabally has the tools to be a matchup nightmare for the Aces. Phoenix will bring home the championship if she has a big series.
