14 points in the 4th by DT to lead her team to victory - what we’ve come to expect from the GOAT.

You can never count her out. She was SO quiet tonight until the 4th. That what legends are made of. Simply fantastic.

DT is DT... what else do we expect? She is the best, ever, when it needs to be done

with Mercury and Diana having a poor stretch in the 3rd Q and wake up just as the game ended with Goat talk and Mercury fans celebrating.

Diana's block was clean but I think she was lucky they did not call a foul on contending Cambage's follow up rebound. Guessing that was because Cambage won the rebound.
I missed the entire 4th quarter. Who was trash talking DT?

Both sides really. DT was frustrated until she wasn't when it mattered the most.

Who else but Jackie Young. One of those Norte Dame players that was coached by no class MM.

Yes but Di can backup her trash talking, Young doesn't even come close. But like I stated she learned from the worst.

Why did the Mercury win?
Ask Mercury coach Sandy Brondelo
"In the fourth quarter, we have Diana Taurasi and they don't," she said, borrowing a decades-old yarn by Taurasi's college coach at Connecticut. "I'm stealing that off Geno [Auriemma], but that's what it comes down to"
Aces coach Bill Laimbeer credited the mental toughness of Taurasi and Griner for getting the Mercury over the top.

Trash talking, posturing, “look at me” has just become an everyday, every play part of sport. Jackie Young didn’t learn it from McGraw anymore than Diana Taurasi learned it from Auriemma. Just my opinion, but trash talking had nothing to do with Taurasi stepping up, it is what the GREATEST of the GREAT do. UConnCat posted the video, I thought her block on the mismatch at the end of the game was the biggest play of the game. Her following that sequence up with the 3 was just poetic justice for one of the most phenomenal players to ever step on a court.
