It seems like an annual phrase, but Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury are heading to the WNBA playoffs for the 10th time in the last 13 seasons.
After clinching home-court advantage on Friday and taking down the New York Liberty 96-85 in Sunday’s regular-season finale, the No. 5 seed Mercury (20-14) now have a date set for a Round 1 matchup with the eighth-seeded Dallas Wings.
The single-elimination game will tip off on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 5:30 p.m.
Due to a scheduling conflict at Talking Stick Resort Arena, the game will be held at Arizona State’s Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe.
