I Smell A Repeat

In Game 3 of the WNBA Finals the Phoenix Mercury trailed 82-79 with 21.9 seconds remaining. The ball was in Cappie Pondexter’s hands, she came off a screen and pulled up for an open 3-pointer to tie the game but the shot did not hit and the Mercury lost the game. The ball went halfway down before jumping right back out. So the Detroit now lead the series 2-1 in a best-of-five. Mercury fans should not beat up on Pondexter, that missed shot was not the problem. They could not knock down their outside shots. The Mercury shot 5-of-29 from the 3-point range for the game and went 0-for-11 during the fourth quarter. Entering the game, Phoenix was shooting 41.6 percent from 3-point range during the playoffs, second best among all playoff teams. The Mercury’s shooting woes were not limited to shots behind the arc. They missed 10 of their 38 free throws, including six misses in the fourth quarter. For the first time in the series, Mercury did outrebound Detroit, 47-42, including a 29-28 edge on the offensive glass. The Mercury players really need to focus on their shooting game if the want to win Game 4. This is really do-or-die!!! Game 4 is tonight at 8:30pm and you can watch it on ESPN 2.
