PHOENIX -- The Mercury rallied to overcome a 17-point deficit in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, tying the score with a minute to play. But for the third time in as many games, Phoenix came out on the losing end.
A'ja Wilson's last-second jump shot sealed the Las Vegas Aces' 90-88 victory on Wednesday, leaving the Mercury on the brink of getting swept.
And yet, the look on Phoenix coach Nate Tibbetts' face afterward was recognition, not resignation.
"It's not a team that is just, like, figuring it out," Tibbetts said.
