"Las Vegas had what looked like a comfortable 76-59 lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Mercury closed the gap to 84-83 with 3:06 left on Kahleah Copper's 3-pointer. DeWanna Bonner tied the game at 86-all on a 3-pointer with 1:33 left and made two free throws with 1:01 left to tie it at 88. That set up Wilson's heroics in the final seconds."
"The 6-foot-4 Wilson continued her dominant postseason run, making 11 of 20 shots from the field add adding four assists. She is averaging more than 26 points in 11 postseason games. Jackie Young added 21 points. Wilson's 291 total points over 11 games is a WNBA postseason record."
""I just needed the bucket to go in," Wilson said. "I didn't see who was in front of me. I didn't care. It's the finals." Phoenix had one final try to get a bucket, but Bonner's quick jumper was no good."
