Match Info

The Phoenix Mercury delivered a commanding performance at home on July 3, 2026, dismantling the Seattle Storm with a decisive 90-67 victory in a WNBA regular-season clash. The win underscored Phoenix's growing momentum as they continue to climb the league standings, while Seattle was left searching for answers after a frustrating night on both ends of the floor.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, the Mercury set the tone with aggressive defense and crisp ball movement. They built a double-digit lead by the end of the first quarter and never looked back. The Storm struggled to find consistent scoring against a well-drilled Phoenix defense, ultimately shooting well below their season average. The final scoreline reflected a game that was controlled from start to finish by the home side.

Key Moments

First Quarter Surge: The Mercury opened on a 12-2 run, forcing Seattle into early foul trouble and settling into a rhythm that the Storm could not disrupt.
Second Half Separation: After a brief Storm rally early in the third quarter, Phoenix responded with an 18-4 run to push the lead past 20 points, effectively sealing the contest.
Defensive Dominance: The Mercury held Seattle to just 36% shooting from the field and forced 15 turnovers, converting them into 22 fast-break points.

Standout Players

Phoenix’s balanced attack was led by a veteran guard who finished with a game-high 26 points, along with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The Mercury's frontcourt also contributed significantly, with a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds that controlled the paint. For Seattle, a young guard posted 21 points, but received little support from the rest of the roster.

Impact on the Standings

The victory improves the Mercury’s record to 15-8, keeping them in the top four of the WNBA standings and strengthening their case for a strong playoff seed. Seattle falls to 11-13, now sitting just outside the playoff picture. With the season approaching its second half, both teams will need to address their inconsistencies to secure a postseason berth.

The Mercury will look to build on this impressive win when they face the Las Vegas Aces next, while the Storm will aim to bounce back in a home contest against the Chicago Sky.
