    POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury COLLAPSE After HOT Start In CHAOTIC Loss To Fever

    The Phoenix Mercury had this game exactly where they wanted it early, jumping out to a 19-6 start against the Indiana Fever. Then came the second quarter, the third-quarter collapse, six technical fouls, a Myisha Hines-Allen ejection and, well… sigh. Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas gave Phoenix decent minutes, but the Mercury couldn’t hold onto the early control in another frustrating loss. Erika & Gil break down the chaos, the whistle, the wasted start and where Phoenix goes from here.   Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - Vibes are low 1:51 - 1st quarter was great! 3:20 - 3rd quarter was NOT great... 5:40 - It's the same loss over and over again 8:00 - The Mercury need ADJUSTMENTS 12:00 - Back-to-Back mentalities 13:00 - Technical fouls everywhere 22:30 - Jovana Nogic update 30:00 - Officiating is NOT why Mercury lost the game   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/     bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!

    POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury BEAT Storm For 5th Win, But Roster Questions LOOM

    The Phoenix Mercury finally got back in the win column, beating the Seattle Storm 93-73 for their fifth win of the season, and this one came with a little French flair. Valériane Ayayi and Noémie Brochant brought major energy for Phoenix, giving the Mercury the kind of spark, spacing and bench production they have desperately needed during a frustrating start to the year.   The PHNX Mercury crew break down the much-needed win, Alyssa Thomas setting the tone, the French connection showing out, and whether this version of Phoenix is something real or just a necessary exhale against a struggling Storm team. Plus, the latest on Monique Akoa Makani’s injury and the very strange timing of Jovana Nogić’s contract suspension.     Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - MIGHTY MERCURY 2:40 - Mercury won a game! 4:10 - Takeaways from the W 17:30 - Player of the game? 19:40 - Kahleah Copper 28:30 - Jovana Nogic has contract SUSPENDED 36:00 - Stephen PridGeon-Garner joins the show 42:00 - Mercury are in drivers education 44:00 - Postgame  Presser sound 1:05:00 - Programming notes   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/     bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!

    POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury DROP 5th Straight Despite a BETTER Defensive Performance

    The Phoenix Mercury have now lost five straight games and sit at 2-7 after another loss to the New York Liberty. The frustrating part? Phoenix did a lot of things well enough to win. Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper each scored 15 points, the Mercury forced 17 turnovers, and held New York under 70 points deep into the fourth quarter. But poor shooting, a massive rebounding deficit, and another offensive drought proved too much to overcome.   Erika, Stephen & Gil break down what went wrong against the Liberty, whether this losing streak is exposing bigger issues, and what the Mercury need to fix before the season slips away.   Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!   0:00 - Mercury drop 5th straight game 2:30 - Moral victory? 4:30 - Reaction to adversity defines a team 6:00 - This is NOT tanking.
