The big picture: Tonight's game at Mortgage Matchup Center (tip-off at 5pm) is the Merc's last chance to turn the WNBA Finals series around.
Phoenix is down 3-0 against the Las Vegas Aces in the best-of-seven series.
The intrigue: The Mercury were within spitting distance of victory in Games 1 and 3, keeping hope alive for a mid-series turnaround.
Yes, but: If the Mercury manage to pull off a win tonight, they'll head to Sin City, where they'll need two road victories to get back to Phoenix for a Game 7.
Reality check: Stranger things have happened, but that's an awfully tall order.
What we're watching: Mercury forward Satou Sabally has been ruled out for tonight's game after sustaining a concussion on Wednesday.
Sabally has been a breakout star of the Mercury's playoff run.
