The Phoenix Mercury returned to the win column on Sunday after defeating the Washington Mystics 68-62. Things didn't look good for the Mercury in the game's third quarter as they were outscored 14-22, but they got back in the final quarter. The Mystics tried to make it a game in the fourth, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Mercury.

Satou Sabally finished the game with 12 points, nine rebounds and two assists, while Monique Akoa Makani finished with 13 points. Alyssa Thomas was also huge for the team, finishing with 11 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Sabally celebrated the win on Instagram with a one-word caption: "DUB."

Although the Mercury are a new-look team this season, they have some top-tier talent in the offseason to stay competitive. Sabally and Thomas were the two big additions to the team, and so far, they've been putting up nice numbers while Kahleah Copper is sidelined with an injury.

Once Copper returns, the Mercury should be one of the better teams in the league with their big 3. It's good to see that they're getting wins without some of their key players, but everyone is stepping up and filling in where they need to.
