Game Recap
Mercury Down Silver Stars With Balanced, Efficient Attack - SB Nation Arizona
The Mercury continue their impressive pre-playoff push with a convincing win over the San Antonio Silver Stars. With six players in double-figures, the Mercury spread their point of attack from the 5-foot-3 point guard, Temeka Johnson (17 points) to the 6-foot-6 center, Kara Braxton (17 points, 7 rebounds)."When you have six players in double-figures, it's not that you're trying to stop one or two players, you're trying to stop six and that was just too much for us tonight," San Antonio coach Sandy Brondello explained.

The Merc pick and roll game
w/ Dupree rolling and either Penny or Diana handling the ball is so sweet to watch

Jayne Appel doing a very good
job on Braxton in the low post

That's twice
The refs didn’t call Hammon on her dribble when it was so blatant I could see it from the cheap seats….
Merc forcing a lot of turnovers tonight

Dan Hughes
sitting right behind me….he’s yelling at the refs like his was back on the sidelines

30 points in the paint for Merc
18 for SASS…that’s why Phx is shooting 66.7% and SA is 42.9%

Wow
Gaines actually calls a timeout when the offense goes kaput
lol
only a 20 second

Silver Stars making a run
Merc out of sorts, complaining about calls. 60-47

Didn't SASS

I don't know why
The announcer keeps calling for defense—he’s seen the Merc the last couple of years, he knows Homey don’t play dat….
This seems to be a recurring problem...
Her high turnover % doesn’t seem to be due to making plays, but not making them….

San Antonio
is very thin and small at the wings…Taylor killing Darling right now
Raising Arizona Sports at SB Nation Arizona twitter: @sethpo
Oh my lord...
Taylor looks like she’s playing in the Storm’s dimension… ;)

During time out
San Antonio players are gasping for air…Merc players looking fresh and calm.

Its not that the calls
on either end are bad…they just are never consistent
Raising Arizona Sports at SB Nation Arizona twitter: @sethpo
now they are inconsistent the other way

Interesting that there seem to be two probs on the perimeter for SASS
Guarding Taylor on the wing…
But then also contending with Meek’s speed from the point…
That’s before even discussing Dupree and Taurasi…

...or career sixth woman...
DeWanna Bonner…

Epiphanny Prince has been in the mix all season as far as I'm concerned...
But nobody will actually catch Bonner….

Agreed.

I know this has been a theme for a while... but worth saying again...
Dupree integrated into this offense is a force…
This is the most fluid I’ve seen the Merc this season…

Cory was pissed about that
he’s been arguing for that call all half…in fact he called the time out just so he could complain about it to the other ref
