The WNBA Finals tipped off with the Phoenix Mercury racing out behind Kahleah Copper’s early fire, but Game 1 slipped away as the Las Vegas Aces powered back to take control down the stretch. We break down how the Mercury’s Big 3 fared in their Finals debut together, what went wrong after the hot start, and the adjustments Phoenix must make heading into Game 2. From Copper’s scoring punch to Alyssa Thomas’ playmaking and Satou Sabally’s impact, we dive into the key storylines shaping this seven-game battle for the championship.

Everyone counted Phoenix out months ago, and now the Big 3 have kicked the door down to the Finals. Kahleah Copper’s been torching defenses, Alyssa Thomas is running the whole show, and Satou Sabally’s making life miserable for anyone stuck across from her. The Aces might be the favorite on paper, but the Mercury are built on comebacks and chaos — and they’re not here just to show up, they’re here to take it.
