Alyssa Thomas has 2nd straight triple-double to lead Mercury past the Sun 82-66
PHOENIX (AP) — Alyssa Thomas had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for her second straight triple-double and Satou Sabally scored 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting as the Phoenix Mercury beat the Connecticut Sun 82-66 on Tuesday night. Thomas has 14 career triple-doubles in the regular season and four more in the playoffs. There have been 50 triple-doubles in WNBA history (regular season and playoffs combined) and no other player has more than Sabrina Ionescu's four. Thomas, who had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in an 83-67 win over Chicago on Sunday, also had consecutive triple-doubles in June 2023, as well as in Game 3 and Game 4 of the 2022 WNBA Finals. DeWanna Bonner hit four 3-pointers and finished with 18 points for Phoenix (18-11), and Kahleah Copper scored 15. Marina Mabrey led Connecticut (5-23) with 18 points, and Tina Charles scored 16. Rookie Leïla Lacan added 10 points, a season-high tying six steals and five rebounds. Lacan has at least one steal in eight consecutive games and has 25 steals in that span. The Mercury never trailed and jumped to a 10-2 lead as Connecticut missed it's first nine field-goal attempts before Bria Hartley made a driving layup more than 4 1/2 minutes into the game. Phoenix limited the Sun to 13% (2 of 16) shooting and their lowest-scoring quarter of the season in the first and took a 26-6 in the second. Charles hit a 3-pointer that capped a 12-2 run and cut the deficit to 30-22 with 4:35 left in the first half, but Connecticut never got closer. Phoenix beat the Sun 83-75 on the road June 18. The Mercury play the second of four straight home games Thursday against the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever, and the Sun visit Los Angeles. ___ AP WNBA:

Streaking Sparks defeat an Indiana Fever team missing Caitlin Clark
The Indiana Fever arrived in Los Angeles draped in momentum: Five straight wins, a knack for winning without Caitlin Clark and betting lines titling their way. Their tear was proof they could keep pace even with their franchise centerpiece in street clothes. But another story line might've been tucked beneath Indiana's. The Sparks had ripped off seven wins in their last eight outings, probably fueled by the rare luxury of having every piece of their roster back for the first time in more than a year. And by night's end at Arena, they had won eight of nine, the Sparks grinding out a 100-91 victory. Sidelined since July 15 with a right groin injury, Clark never touched the hardwood Tuesday. But her presence was impossible to miss. About an hour before tip‑off, Clark entered the arena to a wave of shrieks. Fans crammed shoulder‑to‑shoulder against the banisters and security barricades, stretching jerseys, bobbleheads and posters toward her for autographs. But once the ball went up, Clark left her imprint not in ink but as an assistant coach to her Fever squad. For all of Clark's fire from the bench, the Sparks (13-15) seized on her absence to wrestle control away from one of the league's hottest teams and move closer to a playoff berth. Sparks coach Lynne Roberts, who has spent much of the season juggling lineups amid injuries and roster turnover, can finally exhale, with a healthy starting five, Cameron Brink back in uniform and a bench ready to contribute. With stable rotations came steady results. The Sparks' scoring core — Rickea Jackson and Kelsey Plum with 25 apiece, Dearica Hamby with 16, and Azurá Stevens with 19 — carried the load, while Julie Allemand ran the show with seven assists to go with five points and eight rebounds. Midway through the first quarter, Brink checked in, snagged a couple of boards, and promptly stuffed 6‑foot‑2 Natasha Howard for the first of five rejections she'd tally on the night. After Rae Burrell spun in an acrobatic layup to put the Sparks ahead 32‑30, they never loosened their grip, stretching the margin all the way to 90‑68 by the midpoint of the third quarter. But Aari McDonald and Kelsey Mitchell sparked a 21‑5 run that, suddenly, had the game uncomfortably tight with under two minutes remaining. But in a building where wins have been scarce, the Sparks clutched this one tight and handed it back to the L.A. faithful.
