Cappie Pondexter had 22 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, and Diana Taurasi added 22 points and blocked four shots to help the Phoenix Mercury beat the Seattle Storm 93-81 on Wednesday night.

Marie Ferdinand-Harris scored a season-high 15 points to lift the short-handed Sparks to an 82-55 victory against the Seattle Storm on Sunday night.

Lauren Jackson just might be playing the best ball of her career.

Alana Beard of the Washington Mystics and Lauren Jackson of the Seattle Storm have been named the WNBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for the period ending Sunday, June 21.

Lauren Jackson scored 25 points, including a 3-pointer with 1:03 left, as the Seattle Storm ended the Phoenix Mercury's three-game winning streak with a 93-84 victory Sunday night.

With the reigning league most valuable player still sidelined with a sore ankle, the Seattle Storm turned to a former MVP and rallied behind a stingy defense to pull even with Los Angeles in its WNBA Western Conference first-round playoffs matchup.
