Phoenix Mercury guard Kahleah Copper scores 31 points and 16 in the fourth quarter, including a go-ahead layup with 2.4 seconds remaining, as the Mercury rally to beat the Dallas Wings 87-86 on Monday night.
The game is decided late after an officiating change: a foul call against Phoenix with 13.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter is overturned. Phoenix then secures the jump ball, and Alyssa Thomas finds Copper on a backdoor cut along the baseline. Copper finishes to put Phoenix ahead, holding on for the one-point win. The late sequence is the defining moment both outlets highlight, with Copper’s final scoring and the overturned call setting up the last lead change.
