  • Phoenix closed out Minnesota 3–1, overturning an opening loss and rallying from 14 points down to win the clincher 86–81.
  • The WNBA Finals opponent remains undecided with Las Vegas and Indiana tied 2–2, and a deciding Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday in Las Vegas.
  • It is the Mercury’s first Finals appearance since 2021, and a fourth championship would pull the franchise level with the league’s title record.
  • Sabally followed a 10-point series opener with 24, 23 and then 21 points, calling the Finals berth “a dream come true” in an interview with ESPN.
  • Drafted No. 2 overall in 2020, she joined Phoenix this season, earned a third All-Star nod, and extends a strong German presence in the WNBA after Nyara Sabally and Leonie Fiebich won the 2024 title with New York.
