Sabally, Thomas help Phoenix beat New York 86-60 to even best-of-3 WNBA playoff series
September 17, 2025
Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas each scored 15 points to help the Phoenix Mercury beat the New York Liberty 86-60 in Game 2 on Wednesday night. That forced a decisive Game 3 on Friday night in Phoenix. Sabally was coming off one of the worst shooting games of her career when she was 2 for 17 in Game 1, but said in practice Tuesday that she was confident she’d bounce back. New York had a huge emotional lift before the game with Breanna Stewart able to play after spraining the MCL in her left knee in overtime of Game 1 on Sunday. But she was mostly ineffective with just six points in 20 minutes.
