Season Series Recap
| Date | Result | Location |

Atlanta has dominated both matchups, winning by a combined 34 points.
Strategic Outlook
Atlanta’s Edge: Offensive efficiency and ball movement. Despite missing Howard and Griner, their depth and Gray’s leadership have kept them rolling.
Phoenix’s Challenge: Defensive consistency. Their recent 95–60 win over Indiana shows promise, but Atlanta’s pace and spacing have exposed Mercury’s rotations.
X-Factor: Alyssa Thomas’ playmaking vs. Atlanta’s perimeter defense. If Phoenix can control tempo and hit threes, they could flip the script.
