After defeating the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx, the Phoenix Mercury made it to the WNBA Finals. With such an incredible run to the postseason, you might wonder about the last time the Mercury made a Finals appearance.

The Sky actually beat the Mercury, 3-1 in the series, to secure the franchise’s first championship. In a decisive Game 4, Phoenix watched its once eight-point lead dwindle as it couldn’t keep pace with the Sky. In a wild twist of events, the Mercury went scoreless for close to five minutes, which allowed Chicago to eventually pull away. Current Mercury guard Kahleah Copper, who played for the Sky at the time, was the Finals MVP.
There you have it! Enjoy the WNBA Finals!
