Sun Stun Mercury in Comeback Win | WNBA News
Description
Connecticut Sun stun Phoenix Mercury in a nail-biting 75-72 comeback win, with Kennedy Burke scoring 15 and Brittney Griner blocking a last-second three to seal it. Down by 16 at halftime, the Sun erupted for an 11-4 run in the third quarter, turning the tide as Phoenix scored just nine points. Despite no starters reaching double figures, Aaliyah Edwards led the bench with 14, while Griner—playing against her former team—added 5 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Kelsey Plum led Phoenix with 25, but their free-throw woes (13/23) proved costly. The win also marked a poignant moment: the Sun retired Alyssa Thomas’ No. 25 jersey, honoring her 11-year legacy as the franchise prepares for relocation next year.
