Sky-Mercury Preview

By MATT BECKER
Posted Jul 31 2010 1:27PM

The high-flying Phoenix Mercury set another scoring record by amassing 69 first-half points in their latest victory.

The inept Chicago Sky couldn't even hit that mark in all 40 minutes in their last game.

With an important stretch of games looming, the surging Mercury will try to avoid overlooking the league's lowest-scoring team when they meet the Sky on Sunday in Candice Dupree's first game against her former team.

Phoenix (11-13) ranks first in the WNBA in scoring with an average of 96.7 points, and has been topping that mark with regularity lately.

The Mercury, who set a league record for scoring with a 127-124 double-overtime victory in Minnesota on July 24, defeated the Lynx 110-92 on Thursday. Phoenix has scored at least 107 points in four of its last six, and has topped the 85-point mark in 11 straight games.

Chicago is 0-5 when allowing at least 85 points.

The Mercury made 11 of their first 12 shots Thursday to open up a 23-point second-quarter lead, and went into halftime setting a league record for first-half points. Penny Taylor scored a team-high 22, while Kara Braxton, playing in her first game in Phoenix since being acquired from Tulsa on July 21, had 20 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench.

The Mercury have won four of five, and are two games ahead of San Antonio for second place in the Western Conference with 10 contests remaining. Phoenix opens a home-and-home series with the Silver Stars in San Antonio on Tuesday.

"I think the biggest goals right now are to remain in second place in the Western Conference," Dupree told the Mercury's official website. "We just need to stay together and continue to find ways to improve as a team. We're coming off a good road trip and want to keep it going."

Dupree, a four-time All-Star and the first pick of the expansion Sky in 2006, spent her first four seasons with Chicago before requesting a trade earlier this year. She's been on the losing end of every game in this series, as the Mercury are 8-0 all-time versus Chicago.

Phoenix averaged 98.0 points in last year's meetings, led by Diana Taurasi's 24.5 points.

The Sky (12-14) arrive in Phoenix after an 80-60 loss to league-leading Seattle on Friday. They've lost three of four to drop to last place in the East.

Chicago is averaging 74.6 points, but is struggling to even reach that mark, scoring 61 or fewer in four of its last nine.

Sylvia Fowles, who leads the Sky in scoring with an average of 17.8 points, didn't play in either game against the Mercury last season because of injuries.

Taurasi's late FT helps Mercury outlast Sky

Posted Aug 01 2010 8:56PM

PHOENIX (AP) Diana Taurasi scored 35 points, including two free throws with 3.7 seconds left, and then knocked the ensuing inbounds pass wide to secure the Phoenix Mercury's 97-96 win over the Chicago Sky on Sunday.

Taurasi also had 11 rebounds, but missed two crucial shots in the final 20 seconds, then collided with Dominique Canty while trying to catch a pass from Tangela Smith in the lane to draw the foul.

Jia Perkins had hit a 16-footer with 5.6 seconds left to give the Sky (12-15) a lead after DeWanna Bonner hit two free throws with 10.9 seconds left to put Phoenix (12-13) ahead 95-94.

Sylvia Fowles had 12 of her career-high 35 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Sky, who had a 94-91 advantage with 1:23 remaining.

Candice Dupree, acquired from Chicago in the offseason, added 19 points and six rebounds for the Mercury, who moved two games up on San Antonio for second place in the WNBA's Western Conference with games against the Silver Stars on Tuesday and Friday.

Perkins had 23 points and five rebounds for Chicago, which has lost four of its last five and fell to three games behind fourth-place New York in the East.

Fowles, who came into the game averaging 17.8 points a game, reached that in the first 7 minutes, hitting 9 of 12 from the field but then missed five of her next six shots and was held to five points in the second and third quarters.

Phoenix, winner of seven of nine, scored the first six points of the second half and Taurasi scored 12 points despite picking up her fourth foul as the Mercury took a 74-70 lead into the final period.

Chicago jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first 3 minutes and led by 10 in the second quarter until Phoenix finished the half on a 15-4 run to take a 45-44 advantage at the break.

The Mercury have scored 97 points in nine of their last 10 games and topped 90 points in a league-record nine straight.

Chicago was 6-0 against the West until losing to Seattle on Friday.

Phoenix got just its second win in eight games against the East and is 9-0 all-time with Chicago.
