Brittney Griner leads Mercury to 86-55 rout over Shock
Associated Press
PHOENIX
-- Brittney Griner had 13 points, eight rebounds and a season-high
seven blocks as the Phoenix Mercury continued their hot shooting in an
86-55 rout over the Western Conference-leading Tulsa Shock on Thursday
night.
Candice Dupree scored 16 points, and Monique Currie and
DeWanna Bonner chipped in 11 each for the Mercury, who scored their most
points of the season in front of 8,996 at US Airways Center.
Phoenix
(5-5) led by as many as 33 points, and finished shooting 55.6 percent
from the field. The Mercury shot 59.6 percent against the Stars on June
30, the highest in a WNBA game this season.
Tulsa (8-3) has lost consecutive games since a team record-tying eight-game winning streak.
The
Shock were held to nine points in the first quarter and seven points in
the third as they continue to struggle without their leading scorer,
Skylar Diggins, who is out for the season after tearing an ACL on June
28.
