Mercury coach Tibbetts slams ejection during WNBA Finals Game 4, blasts officiating｜Thomas｜Copper

Satou Sabally was out with a concussion and Alyssa Thomas was basically playing with one arm. Even so, the feisty Phoenix Mercury had one more run left in these WNBA Finals. Kahleah Copper helped whittle a 14-point deficit down to six in the fourth quarter before the Las Vegas Aces turned back the rally, but the Mercury felt they had nothing to be ashamed of even though they lost 97-86 on Friday in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, getting swept in the best-of-seven series. “I'm super proud of the group,” Copper said. "We've battled everything all year, from the start until now, being without Satou. After the game, I wanted us to feel it, hear the celebrations, feel that moment and feel the hurt. Let it fuel us for the future. “But I'm proud of how we responded to adversity all year. I wouldn't want to do it with any other group.” Copper led the Mercury with 30 points on 12-of-22 shooting. Thomas had a triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Thomas' output was particularly impressive considering she could barely shoot in the second half. She hurt her right shoulder late in the first half after taking a hard screen from Aces guard Jewell Loyd and had to leave the game, but returned in the second half to provide her usual grit and production. Sabally missed Game 4 after suffering a concussion near the end of Game 3.
