Phoenix Mercury faltered in Game One of the WNBA Finals against the Las Vegas Aces after a strong start, losing their grip in the second half due to offensive struggles and costly turnovers. Despite Kahleah Copper's initial dominance, Aces' defensive adjustments stifled her impact, while Las Vegas capitalized on Phoenix's mistakes with twenty points off turnovers. The Mercury's usually reliable defense couldn't contain the Aces, and a significant bench scoring disparity further contributed to the loss. Alyssa Thomas' missed free throws added to the tension, but she assures fans she's ready for Game Two as Phoenix aims to rebound with improved defense and fewer errors.
