Event: Shock at Mercury
The Phoenix Mercury fall to the Detroit Shock in a WNBA Finals rematch. Without key players Penny Taylor and Tangela Smith, coupled with poor performances by Diana Taurasi (1-13) and Cappie Pondexter (4-24), the Mercury trailed the majority of the game. The Mercury are 2-6 in regular season play.
