The Phoneix Mercury demolished the Chicago Sky in a 107-86 win Saturday afternoon at Wintrust Arena.
Sky forward Angel Reese struggled in the loss with nine points and a career-low two rebounds.
Reese, normally tenacious on the boards with an average of 11 rebounds, was a non-factor on the glass in the blowout loss. Reese was held to just one shot attempt in the loss.
As a team, the Sky had just 22 rebounds.
The Sky fell to 3-9 with the loss and have lost five of their last six games. Kamilla Cardoso and Michaela Onyenwere led the Sky with 17 points apiece.
The Mercury set a franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a game with 17. Sami Whitcomb hit five of those 17 3-pointers and finished with 17 points in the win.
