MINNEAPOLIS — Satou Sabally scored 11 of her 24 points in the fourth quarter and Alyssa Thomas had 19 points and 13 assists to help the Phoenix Mercury erase a 20-point deficit and beat the Minnesota Lynx 89-83 in overtime on Tuesday night, tying the WNBA semifinal series at one game apiece.
“We’re confident in us, and we’ve been battling all season long,” said Sabally, who was 5 of 11 on 3-pointers. “You can’t give up a basketball game if you’re down.”
Sami Whitcomb’s 3 from the wing with 4 seconds left in regulation evened the game at 79 after Thomas kept alive the possession following Whitcomb’s airballed 3 from the top of the key.
“And they still trust me to make that shot,” said Whitcomb, who had 13 points.
Napheesa Collier’s jumper for the win on the other end fell short at the horn to force overtime.
