There’s a special type of chemistry between a guard and center. Warriors and Nuggets fans have seen how deadly it can be for over a decade. Now, the Phoenix Suns are building their own exciting version. I wrote about it: nba.com/suns/news/inside-the…

Kahleah Copper just became the second player in Phoenix Mercury history to score 40 points in a game. She joins Diana Taurasi, who did it four times.

Insane 4-point play for Cameron Brink on this drive-kick-swing by the Sparks. Kelsey Plum made it happen

This arena just went crazy. Natasha Mack with a massive block, sparking a transition opportunity for Alyssa Thomas. Dish to Lexi Held in the corner. It’s 93-90 Mercury with 1:32 remaining

Just a precise outlet pass by Yoyo Nogić, finding Kahleah in transition. Mercury answering the Sparks' run

Kah doesn't even set this screen, instead ghosting it and slipping to open space. Watch how quickly Akoa Makani draws two on the ball, then hits Kah for the wide open triple

Kahleah gets the switch she wants by screening early for Held ... then calls for Mack to deliver a tough high-low pass. Great execution by Phoenix

“Just playing, having fun, and making friends first of all. That’s the biggest thing. Then on the court, just learning how to play the game. Learning the fundamentals.” Spoke with Ryan Dunn today about the importance of youth camps, which the Phoenix Suns are hosting

Ryan Dunn is attending Suns youth basketball camp today in Gilbert, signing autographs and taking photos with the kids. Dunn watched the championship game of the camp’s tournament just a few minutes ago
