Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun head-to-head record
The Connecticut Sun have dominated the Phoenix Mercury in their last five encounters, winning four of them until losing their most recent meeting on June 19, 2025, to Phoenix, which ended in an 83-75 victory.
The Sun demonstrated their ability to control the game on both ends of the court by winning those four previous games by resounding margins ranging from 11 to 27 points.
Phoenix's recent victory, though, might indicate a change in pace, particularly given their successful home record this year. The Mercury may have the advantage in this upcoming game if they can duplicate their offensive rhythm from the last encounter and take advantage of Connecticut's trip difficulties.
