Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury held off the New York Liberty in a decisive Game 3 of their first-round series on Friday night, taking a 79–73 win and with it, a spot in the WNBA semifinals.
Thomas made some history in the process, becoming the first WNBA player to ever record a 20-point triple-double in the postseason with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists on the night. She added two steals and block to the box score for good measure.
