Scouting report
The Mercury finished 27–17, 5th in the league standings, with a +3.2 net rating that ranked 6th of 13. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 7th on offense, 5th on defense. Scoring was spread around — Satou Sabally led at 16.3 a game, but no one accounted for more than 17% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Alyssa Thomas as the one they can least afford to lose — +14.2 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 6-game winning streak (Jun 11–Jun 27) and a 35-point rout of the Fever on Aug 7. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jul 16–Jul 25) and a 23-point loss at the Lynx on Jun 3. They went 13–13 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
