Phoenix went on an excellent run during the playoffs, and the Mercury's journey started with a series against the New York Liberty. They beat them 2-1, and after that, Phoenix defeated the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx were one of the favorites to win it all this season, and after losing the first game, the Mercury won the last three.

Once the Mercury beat the Lynx, they faced the Las Vegas Aces. That series did not go in their favor, but they put up a fight.
