Another week has passed and I have been feeling happy as ever. Last week, we were dancing in jubilation about the Mercury ending their monster losing streak. This week, we get to celebrate another three wins; our most successful week of the season so far FOR SURE. Before I provide a recap for the four most recent games for the Phoenix Mercury, I spend the early portion of this episode breaking down our newest NBA trade. This, I assume, is the start of a long offseason full of moves throughout the NBA. 

• Rockets trading Christian Wood to Mavericks
• Does this affect Deandre Ayton's trade value?

Thankfully, thats the only NBA news I have. The rest of the 45 min, we get to talk about the rise to greatness that the Phoenix Mercury have taken. They have picked up 3 big wins to bring them to a 6-9 record for the season. Here are just a few of the things I talked about regarding the Merc's last four games:

• Atlanta Dream's defensive supremacy
• Tina Charles returns from injury
• A set of missions for beating the Dream, and how they were accomplished.
• Clutch minutes and OT vs Dream
• Free throws
• 4th quarter DT vs Mystics on Sunday
• Skylar Diggins-Smith and a set of clutch plays to help secure win
• What caused the Mystics to win rematch despite Merc playing well
• Tina Charles All-Star level vs Fever
• 2 big things from Mercury that have impressed me that encompass the entirety of the last couple weeks+ and have translated to wins. 

Before the next Suns Mode, the Mercury will have played two more games this season. Friday vs the Dallas Wings and Tuesday vs the Minnesota Lynx

• The goal remains the same
• Lynx legend Sylvia Fowles
