The Mercury won the best-of-five series with two double-digit comebacks and will return to the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2021. Phoenix awaits the winner of the Indiana Fever - Las Vegas Aces series, which culminates with Game 5 on Tuesday at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2).

The No. 6-seeded Fever would face the Mercury in the finals, who just eliminated the Lynx. Indiana has won four playoffs games so far, the most by any underdog team since the Sky in 2021 (Chicago went on to win the WNBA championship). Game 5 of Fever-Aces is Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Kevin Durant turns 37 today.
