Phoenix Goes Head-To-Head With Eastern Conference Team

The Phoenix Mercury's series against the Washington Mystics ended in a tie, and interestingly enough, it happened with another Eastern Conference team. The Mercury met the Connecticut Sun, and the series was 1-1. Connecticut started the series with a 90-78 win, and Kelsey Bone led the way. She had 27 points for the Sun, which was her career high at the time. However, she passed that total later that season, as she had 31 points against the Chicago Sky. Bone played for the Mercury a year later, but until then, she helped the Sun win in double overtime. Connecticut had three more players who scored in double figures, as Alex Bentley had 19 points, Alyssa Thomas had 15 points and Chelsea Gray had 10. DeWanna Bonner was Phoenix's leading scorer, and she had 21 points. She also had nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks. Candice Dupree had 18 points, six rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. Then, Monique Currie had 11 points and five rebounds. The Sun won on the road, and and the Mercury did the same.
