The Mercury suffered a tough 89-86 defeat to the Aces in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals Friday night. Debatably worse news for Phoenix was that their do-it-all superstar Alyssa Thomas was seen shaking her hand in discomfort near the end of the difficult road loss.
Thomas finished the game just one assist shy of a triple-double with 15 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on the night. She had an opportunity to tie the game and give Phoenix back the lead with two foul shots and less than 30 seconds left, but she unfortunately wasn't able to connect on either.
