Kahleah Copper exploded for 30 points, including 23 in the first half, leading the Phoenix Mercury to a dominant 90-67 win over the Seattle Storm — their third straight victory. Valeriane Ayayi added 18, Lexi Held poured in 17 including a career-high 5 threes, and Alyssa Thomas nearly recorded a triple-double with 9 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists. Seattle’s Awa Fam and Natisha Hiedeman scored 13 each, but couldn’t keep up with Phoenix’s offensive surge or their 29-40 rebounding edge. Ezi Magbegor returned after a 20-game absence, scoring 8 in 17 minutes, but the Storm remain just 1-9 on the road. Phoenix heads to Chicago next, while Seattle hosts Portland — can the Mercury extend their streak?
