With the loss, the Liberty drops to 2-15 on the season, losing their fourth straight game, while the Mercury extends their winning streak to six games and improves to 11-7 on the season.
There are only four games left.
Along with the loss, the Liberty, once again, got bit by the injury bug. Paris Kea suffered a lower left leg injury in the first quarter. Kea, who has taken advantage of her new role as a starter, appeared to roll her ankle and was assisted off the court by her teammates.
