I tried to give the Phoenix Mercury the benefit of the doubt when these teams clashed on Tuesday, and it didn't work out well. The Connecticut Sun got whatever they wanted offensively and ended up winning the game by 24 points. Sure, it's not easy to beat the same team twice in a short span and I still think highly of the Mercury as a team overall, but the Connecticut Sun look like they've found their groove and this team is scary when clicking. Big number, but I have to side with the Sun at home.
