The Mercury kept their playoff hopes alive with a much needed win over the visiting Lynx.

Diana Taurasi filled up the stat sheet with a game high 32 points and 5 blocked shots. But she also got some help. "I told them before the game that I needed a little bit from everybody," Corey Gaines said. "They came out, and they were aggressive. They really attacked them and didn't give them easy shots."

The Lynx continued to struggle from the floor, especially in the first half. But they did fight back in the second half and combined with the Mercury to set a record for the most points in a half.
