Thursday's second single elimination game (vs. Connecticut tomorrow -- Thursday) starts at 5:30 Phoenix time on ESPN2.

We're counting on the Terrific Trio to lead the way. Go Mercury!

As the Mercury take on the Connecticut Sun, Washington just destroyed and eliminated L.A.by 32 points 96-64. They "beat L.A." :)

The winner of the Mercury-Sun series (they're saying first game is Sunday) will take on Seattle.

The Mercury is a tired team, having played two games in three nights, then traveling coast to coast -- 2 flights and a bus ride.

They've been hanging in for three quarters, down by a few points most of the time. But they lead by 1 after 3 quarters.

The have the Sun just where they want them. All they have to do is win the 4th quarter. Go Mercury!

Courtney Williams is killing the Mercury. You may remember her as the young talent the Mercury traded away for Kelsey Bone of all players. :(

Courtney Williams couldn't do it all and our Terrific Trio came through when they needed to. All three wound up scoring 23 or more.

The Mercury opens it up to win by ten - 96-86.

For the record ...

Diana 27 points & 5 assists
Brittney 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 blocks
DeWanna 23 points and 18 rebounds
And Talbot and January each with 5 assists.

And good defense.

She is a freaking ICE COLD BEAST and I love her. Playoff Diana is no joke.

Anybody else notice how DT walked out to mid court and yelled F U at somebody for on the other team just after the game ended?

Awesome. She’s intense.

I saw her facetiously clapping toward them, but didn't pick up on the 'commentary'.

The Mercury literally toyed with the Sun. Tired from the road trip, they hung in there until ... two minutes before the end of the game, when they opened it up. Beautiful!

I saw that and was like dayuuuuuum, then she acted all cool and collected in the interview, lol. Pretty sure it was directed at Courtney Williams (Instagram photo) or the one who clapped (Thomas?). Just my guess though.
