Mercury's Thomas Off To Nice Start In Unrivaled
The Unrivaled season is off to a roaring start, with some exceptional performances and teams striving to secure their spot at the top. As teams gear up for the season, one standout is Laces BC, who are making waves with their impressive gameplay.
Over the weekend, Laces BC secured their first win, defeating Vinyl BC with a score of 58-42. Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas was in the game, contributing eight rebounds, six points, three rebounds, and a block. This was just the beginning for Thomas and her team.
In their next match, Laces BC faced Mist BC, and it was a close call. Allisha Gray, Breanna Stewart, and their teammates, including Thomas, Jackie Young, and others, emerged victorious with a score of 83-81. Stewart's clutch free throw sealed the deal.
Brittney Sykes led Laces BC with 29 points, three steals, a rebound, and an assist. Thomas, on the other hand, almost achieved a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. Young added 12 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and two steals to the team's effort.
Laces BC now stands at 1-1, and today, Thomas' team will take on Lunar Owls, who are yet to secure their first win. Meanwhile, Rose BC and Phantom BC have already tasted victory, leaving Lunar Owls in the hunt for their first win.
Thomas is on the cusp of achieving a triple-double in the game against Lunar Owls, which would be a significant milestone. Laces BC has the opportunity to secure their second win, and with Phoenix's forward on their side, they are in with a shot at the championship. After reaching the WNBA Finals, Thomas is determined to bring home the title.
If Laces BC does manage to win it all, Thomas will join her Mercury teammate, Kahleah Copper, who is a member of Rose BC. Copper's team is aiming for a repeat after defeating Vinyl BC in the final game. While Copper missed the first two games, Rose BC is off to a strong start.
With Thomas' impressive performances in her first Unrivaled season, it seems she is set to continue her momentum. Stay tuned to learn more about Alyssa Thomas' second season in Unrivaled and her journey so far. Follow us on X for exclusive updates by clicking here (https://x.com/MercuryOnSI)!
