Overview
- Wilson finished Game 3 with 34 points and 14 rebounds and set a WNBA postseason scoring record with 291 points through 11 games.
- The Aces led by 17 entering the fourth quarter before the Mercury tied it late behind DeWanna Bonner’s 25 points and Kahleah Copper’s late surge.
- Phoenix forward Satou Sabally scored 24 points before leaving in the final minutes with a head or face injury, and her status for Game 4 remains uncertain according to coach Nate Tibbetts.
- Las Vegas seized control early with a 17-0 first-quarter run and a 3-point barrage, including four quick makes from Jewell Loyd and additional bench shooting from Dana Evans.
- This is the league’s first best-of-seven Finals, and with the Aces up 3-0 the Mercury face a historically daunting climb as they vow to focus on one game at a time.
