The victory was even more special as it coincided with &#8220;Sue&#8217;s Forever Day&#8221;, where the Storm unveiled a statue of their legendary star, Sue Bird.\n\nAlyssa Thomas, a key player for the Mercury, was the figure of the match by achieving her fifth triple-double of the season. Thomas scored 19 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds, demonstrating her versatility and leadership on the court.\n\nAt the crucial moment, with the score 78-77 in favor of the Storm, Thomas led a 6-0 run for Phoenix, securing the victory for his team. His teammates highlighted the importance of his performance, especially in decisive moments.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>She is a physicist, intelligent, and makes timely plays. When you have an athlete like that who plays hard in every possession, she will continue to impact the game the way she does.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Noelle Quinn, Seattle coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWith this achievement, Thomas equals the total triple-doubles of all other WNBA players this season. Furthermore, she is only one away from matching her own record from the 2023 season, when she played for the Connecticut Sun.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s definitely not something I think about. For me, I just want to win. We&#8217;ve had ups and downs in the second half, so for me, it&#8217;s about setting the tone and going out there and trying to win the basketball game.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Alyssa Thomas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSami Whitcomb, Thomas&#8217; teammate, also had an outstanding performance with 15 points. Whitcomb praised Thomas&#8217; consistency and impact in every game.\n\nTwo of Whitcomb&#8217;s three-pointers were assisted by Thomas, who, with his 1,717 assists, moved up to seventh place on the WNBA&#8217;s all-time assists list.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>She still finds us, still gives us these open looks. It&#8217;s a lot of fun to play with her and she&#8217;s still very impressive.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Sami Whitcomb<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nDespite his impressive numbers, Thomas remains humble, attributing his success to his comprehensive approach to the game.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenix Mercury defeats Seattle Storm with outstanding performance by Alyssa Thomas In an exciting WNBA matchup, the Phoenix Mercury defeated the Seattle Storm with a score of 85-82, breaking a two-game losing streak.
