So the game-tying sequence in the final seconds of the fourth quarter was fitting: Down three with 20 seconds remaining, the Mercury came out of a timeout and got a decent look for guard Sami Whitcomb, who missed badly. But her teammates kept the possession alive to give her a second chance as the game clock hit single digits, and the results were better this time.

It clanged off the back of the rim. A few minutes later, she let her second shot, another 3-pointer, fly. Miss. In a span of 1 minute and 50 seconds to close the first half, Sabally had a 3-pointer blocked, missed a layup, had a layup blocked and missed a 3-pointer. Halftime didn't help. Sabally missed all nine of her shots across the second half and overtime.
