Like the Lynx, the Mercury have been relying largely on three-pointers. But unlike the Lynx (30%), the Merc have been hitting theirs with amazing regularity (54%).

Still, coach Graf wants to see more inside play. "We can hit the perimeter shot, but we need to get it inside as well," she said. "We need to have balance."

Seattle, meanwhile, spent extra time in practice yesterday preparing for the Taurasi and DeForge-led barage.

Seattle hosts Phoenix tonight on ESPN2. Should be a fun one to watch.
