Why Phoenix's Close Win Led To History

The Phoenix Mercury made the WNBA Finals in 1998, but they did not win a championship. They lost to the Houston Comets, and Cynthia Cooper and her team won their second title. Phoenix made the playoffs in 2000, but after that, the Mercury missed the playoffs until 2007. They finished that season with a record of 23-11, and they faced the Detroit Shock in the Finals. They beat them 3-2, and it led to history. The Mercury played well during the season, and they picked up some impressive wins. One of the most memorable wins was against an Eastern Conference team, and that game came down to the wire. In a game that went into double overtime, the Mercury beat the Connecticut Sun 111-109. The Mercury were home for that game, and the starters were excellent. Penny Taylor was the leading scorer in that outing, and she had 30 points. She also had four rebounds, two steals and an assist. Cappie Pondexter played well, and she had 25 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. Diana Taurasi and Tangela Smith h
