Carla Leite went OFF in the last 5:06. 10 points in that span to finish with 23 to spoil Diana’s jersey retirement. That is now 4 wins through the last 5 for Portland

Indeed game on the night Diana Taurasi’s induction to the Mercury ring of honor! This one had some awesome back and forth action! Nobody got a big lead as these teams were going blow for blow the entire 40 minutes! This game came down to the wire and it looked like Portland had it in the bag late after they stopped the Mercury after they had already made it a two possession game, but a huge steal and subsequent three from Alyssa Thomas to make it a one point game! The Fire hit both free throws and Phoenix had a chance to send it to overtime, but Sami Whitcomb hit rim on the buzzer beater three as Portland barely holds off the Mercury! What an ending!
