WNBA Update and Finals Prediction

The WNBA best of five finals begins Sunday afternoon with the heavily favored Phoenix Mercury meeting the Chicago Sky.

The Mercury beat the defending champion Minnesota Lynx, winning easily in the decisive third game at home. Diana Taurasi led the way for Phoenix with 31 points, including a key 50 foot shot that gave the Mercury all the momentum heading into the final quarter.

The Sky led by Allie Quigley, won another decisive road game, this one at Indiana, vs the Fever, ending the career of Hall of Fame, Fever coach Lin Dunn.

I predict the Mercury will win the series in three straight games.
