Alyssa Thomas, who had 17 points, matched the Phoenix record of 15 assists for the second time and finished a rebound short of her 12th regular-season triple-double. The Mercury had a franchise record 30 assists on 41 baskets. The Mercury (12-4) finished 18 of 39 from beyond the arc one game after hitting 17 3s in a win over Chicago. The league record for 3s in a regular-season game is 19, which the Liberty has achieved twice this season. But the 3s just kept raining down and the Mercury led 88-72 with 16 triples entering the fourth quarter.
