The Phoenix Mercury are looking to finish the regular season strong, and so far, they are doing a great job. Phoenix won another season series, as they beat the Indiana Fever in their last game, and as a result, they won the series 2-1.

Now, the Mercury are going for two more sweeps, as they face the Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun in their next two games.

Phoenix has swept a few teams, as they ended up sweeping the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky recently. At this point, they have a 2-0 lead over both the Mystics and the Sun.

When it comes to their series against the Mystics, Phoenix defeated Washington 68-62. That game was towards the beginning of the season, and the Mercury were missing players like Kahleah Copper and Natasha Mack. Regardless, they pulled off the win.

Copper had 13 points in that game, Sabally had 12 and Laksa had 11. The Sun put up a fight, but the Mercury came away victorious.

These teams met later on, as the Mercury beat the Sun 82-66 last month. After a difficult road trip, the Mercury returned home, and showed out for the "X-Factor."

Sabally was the team's leading scorer in that game, and after missing their game against the Sky, the "Unicorn" had a big performance. She had 23 points in that game, and she was back like she never left.

The Mercury played well against both teams, and as the regular season winds down, they can continue their winning ways.
