WNBA Playoffs Game 3: Silver Stars @ Mercury Game Thread
A list of our needs for tonight: a deluge of threes, a torrent of clutch shots, a monsoon of Becky and Ann and Sophia and Vickie. We need teardrops, we need sweat, we need a downpour to cleanse and inspire our bench players. We need Coach Hughes to direct our dancers with all his experience and... ...

The Time, The Venue
Tonight, 8:00 PM EST (9 PM Spurs time)

Game 3
Someone Says
Sophia once more has the mic tonight:
I just want to come out with more intensity and more focus, because tonight is "win or go home." You have to think to yourself, "Are you ready to be done?" And I’m not ready to be done.

We can win tonight, people. Believe.

Great game
The Stars really played well. They’re transition D was fantastic. They slowed the game in the third and they were raining 3’s…
Honestly, I don’t know how they could have played much better. Bottom line is the Mercury are a much deeper team so when Bonner and Taylor came in with game close about 6 min left and that extra energy and talent off the bench was the difference…
Hope you all enjoyed the W. The Mercury bandwagon has plenty of room over at Swish Appeal
Thanks, LatinD for doing this. I think folks are missing out on some good summer ball if they just ignore the WNBA
