Thomas recorded her second triple-double of the season with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking the 17th triple-double of her WNBA career, a league record. Kahleah Copper supported the effort by scoring 25 points. The Mercury dominated the game’s middle quarters, outscoring the Sky 56-32, and overwhelmed Chicago with 30 fastbreak points compared to just three for their opponents.
