Storm fall to Mercury, 86-77 July 10, 2021 Jewell Loyd scored 16 points, and Breanna Stewart logged her 10 th double-double of the season, but Seattle was frosty from the field on Friday night and dropped an 86-77 decision to the Phoenix Mercury inside Phoenix Suns Arena. It was just the second loss in 10 road games this season for the Storm (15-5). Seattle hit just 29 of 76 from the floor (38.2 percent). Phoenix shot at a 47.1 clip (33 of 70). However, the Storm did head back to Seattle for Sunday’s rematch against the Mercury with some positive news. They will be the Western Conference team in the Commissioner’s Cup final right back in Phoenix on Thursday, Aug. 12 following the Olympic break. That became firm about an hour after Friday’s final buzzer when Las Vegas fell at home to the Minnesota Lynx, 77-67.
