Brittney Griner had 18 points, and she also had seven assists, six rebounds and three blocks. Bria Hartley had 15 points, five rebounds and an assist. Sophie Cunningham had 11 points, an assist, a steal and a block.

The Mercury won their series against the New York Liberty and the Mystics, but outside of those, they had some series that ended in a tie.

Phoenix's series against the Chicago Sky ended in a tie, as the Mercury beat the Sky 96-86 in the first meeting, and the Sky was victorious in the second.

One of the other series that ended in a tie was the one against the Connecticut Sun. That series started with a loss, as the Sun beat the Mercury 85-70. Then, Phoenix tied things up with an overtime win.

Overall, the Mercury did well, and when it came to all of their series, they finished with a record of 4-2-5. Most of their series ended in a tie, and their losses were against the Los Angeles Sparks and the Seattle Storm. Both of those teams are conference rivals, and the Mercury have an extensive history with them.

While the Mercury lost those series, they did well in their other ones. They earned their victories, and their hard work paid off as it led to another playoff appearance. The Mercury had a good year, and in 2021, things would be even better.
