According to ABC15, Thomas finished the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, cementing her place in WNBA history.
In earlier matchups, Thomas delivered similarly strong performances. She recorded 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists in the Mercury's win over the Connecticut Sun last Tuesday, following a 10-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist game that contributed to the team’s victory over the Chicago Sky last Sunday. Across these three games, she totaled 41 points, 33 rebounds, and 32 assists. As reported by AZ Central, social media users reacted with admiration, highlighting the significance of her consistent output.
In the matchup against the Fever, Thomas recorded her 19th career triple-double with under four minutes left, assisting DeWanna Bonner on a successful 3-pointer. Bonner also delivered a standout performance, scoring a season-high 23 points. Additional contributions came from Satou Sabally, who posted 15 points and eight rebounds, and Kahleah Copper, who added 11 points—helping to strengthen the Mercury's season record to 19-11.
The Fever made a brief push, with Sophie Cunningham’s shooting helping reduce the deficit to nine points. In response, the Mercury went on a 14-0 run, including a 3-pointer by Sami Whitcomb that extended their lead, as per ABC15. Indiana was held scoreless for more than four minutes in the third quarter, resulting in a widened gap.
Thomas’s recent performance contributes to the ongoing storyline of the Mercury’s season, leading into their final regular-season meeting with the Fever on September 2 in Phoenix.
