PHOENIX (AP) — Satou Sabally scored 25 points and the Phoenix Mercury set a team record for 3-pointers in a second straight game — and broke a WNBA record in the process — in a 106-91 victory over the New York Liberty on Friday night.
Alyssa Thomas, who had 17 points, matched the Phoenix record of 15 assists for the second time and finished a rebound short of her 12th regular-season triple-double. Phoenix had a franchise record 30 assists on 41 baskets.
Phoenix (12-6) finished 18 of 39 behind the arc a game after hitting 17 3s in a win over Chicago. The 35 3s in consecutive games is a WNBA record. The league record for 3s in the regular season is 19, which New York hit twice this season.
Sabally went 7 of 10 from distance and Sami Whitcomb was 5 of 7 for 15 points. Kitija Laksa added 13 points and Kahleah Copper 12 as Phoenix won its sixth straight.
