WNBA Tuesday Night
Phoenix Mercury vs Washington Mystics
The Mercury were expected to be a top-4 team, at best, and compete for a championship come playoff time. The playoffs are here and they had to settle for a No. 5 seed. Diana Taurasi and Skylar Diggins-Smith have stepped up big-time, however, since the losses of Brittney Griner (personal) and Bria Hartley (injury) to give the team momentum.
Taurasi’s best scoring performance this season came against the Mystics on Aug. 23. Her veteran savvy is the biggest advantage Phoenix has and it really could make a big impact on the outcome of the contest. However, that the talent drops off after Taurasi and Diggins-Smith is a weakness of the Mercury’s offense.
