PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) --- DeWanna Bonner scored a season-high 19 points, Natasha

with 2:46 remaining for a 68-67 lead and they never trailed again.
Five Phoenix players combined to make 10 of 12 free throws in the final three
minutes, with Bonner going 4 for 4. The Mercury finished 19 of 22 from the line.
