The Mercury clawed back into the game but couldn’t complete the comeback Sunday, losing 85-83 to the New York Liberty Sunday at Phoenix Suns Arena. The Mercury have now lost three in a row and drop under .500 with a 5-6 record.
The Mercury erased a 17-point deficit to tie it in the second half but could never take the lead.
Mercury Coach Sandy Brondello and her players all talked about needing to come out with high energy from the start, having faced steep first-half deficits already several times this year.
