Instant Takeaways: Magbegor’s Return Spoiled By Physical Mercury

Ezi Magbegor’s first game of the season was spoiled by the Phoenix Mercury in a 90-67 loss for the Seattle Storm on Thursday, July 2, at the Mortgage Matchup Center.

Seattle (5-16) had its two-game win streak snapped after not playing for five days. Magbegor came off the bench in her first game action in nearly five months. Phoenix (8-13) earned a clean sweep of the season series against the Storm and won its third-straight game.

Nothing went right for the Storm right out of the gate. They couldn’t outmuscle a physical Mercury team once again, and they were dominated in almost every phase of the game.
