In 2014, the Phoenix Mercury closed out a dominant season with one final statement in Chicago — sealing their third WNBA championship with an 87–82 win in Game 3 of the Finals. Even without Brittney Griner, Phoenix relied on its veteran core to finish the job. A poised fourth quarter, steady scoring from Candice Dupree, and timely shot-making from the backcourt helped the Mercury secure the title and cap a record-setting 29-win campaign. A defining moment in franchise history — and one of the W’s most complete Finals runs.
