Fever-Mercury Preview

By MATT BEARDMORE
Posted Aug 24 2012 1:32PM

The Indiana Fever came up big in the fourth quarter of their last game. That wasn't the case in their most recent visit to Phoenix.

Indiana will try to finish its three-game Western Conference trip with a winning record while the Mercury look to end a team-record nine-game losing streak Saturday night.

Down 13 with 4:03 left, the Fever (13-8) did not give up another point in a 68-66 victory over Seattle on Thursday. Shavonte Zellous' 3-pointer with less than a second remaining helped Indiana rebound from a 79-69 loss to Los Angeles on Tuesday.

"This is a great win for us,'' forward Tamika Catchings said after recording her fifth double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds. "We go on to Phoenix from here so it's not like we can get too high, but for tonight, for right now, being able to come out with a `W' is just huge for this team.''

The Fever, 3-1 since the Olympic break, will play in Phoenix for the first time since a 93-89 overtime loss June 19, 2011. Indiana led by 14 in the second half and seven heading into the fourth, but Diana Taurasi sparked the Mercury's rally with 15 of her 32 points in the final 9:16.

That performance came with Taurasi in the midst of another spectacular season, but the guard hasn't played in a WNBA game since May 26. Taurasi, who played on the U.S. gold-medal winning team in London, was expected to return against New York on Thursday but missed the 89-77 loss after feeling lightheaded following warmups.

The 2009 MVP has struggled with a hip injury and missed Sunday's contest after having a dental procedure.

"Practices are better and hopefully next game she'll play,'' coach Corey Gaines said.

Phoenix (4-18) has lost a franchise-worst six straight at home and hasn't won since June 29.

With Taurasi sidelined for most of the season and forwards Candice Dupree and Charde Houston also out with injuries, the Mercury have been leaning heavily on DeWanna Bonner. She scored 34 points Thursday to lift her average to 20.2 - third best in the league - and bounced back from a pair of subpar games in which she totaled 17 points.

The Fever routed the visiting Mercury 91-68 in the last matchup June 28, 2011, but lost point guard Briann January for the season to a torn right ACL.

January, a fourth-year pro out of Arizona State, set up Zellous' winning shot Thursday.

Fever hand Mercury 10th straight loss

Posted Aug 26 2012 12:19AM

PHOENIX (AP) Briann January scored 22 points, including three 3-pointers, to lead the Indiana Fever to an 85-72 win over Phoenix on Saturday night, handing the Mercury their 10th straight loss.

Katie Douglas added 16 points and six rebounds for Indiana (14-8), which has won four of its last five games and moved three games behind first-place Connecticut in the Eastern Conference.

Diana Taurasi, in just her third game with the Mercury (4-19) this season, scored 19 points. It was Taurasi's first game for Phoenix since leading the U.S. to a fifth straight gold medal at the Olympics.

Taurasi missed the first half of the season while recovering from a hip flexor. Once she returned from the Olympic break, she was sidelined when a wisdom tooth was removed.

Even with their star back, Phoenix couldn't end its skid.

The Fever ran off seven straight points early in the fourth quarter to pull away after Phoenix had gotten within 62-56 with 9:33 remaining. Indiana hit 4-of-6 from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter to lengthen their lead.

Tamika Catchings had 12 points, six assists and two blocked shots for Indiana. Jessica Davenport added 12 points, six rebounds and three assists. The Fever led by as much as 10 in the first half but Taurasi hit a 3-pointer 15 seconds into the second half to cut the Fever lead to 35-34.

However, Shavonte Zellous sparked a 7-0 run and the Mercury never got closer than four.

Indiana, which is on pace to set a league mark in 3-pointers this season, made 9-of-20 from outside the line.

DeWanna Bonner had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Mercury, who again played without three injured regulars. Phoenix regulars Candice Dupree (knee), Alexis Gray-Lawson (knee) and Charde Houston (ankle) all sat out on Thursday with injuries. Penny Taylor has missed the entire season while recovering from a torn ACL injury.
