The New York Liberty beat the Phoenix Mercury 94-92 on Saturday, August 1, but the four-point margin fell well short of the double-digit win needed to resolve this question "yes." Sabrina Ionescu led New York with 27 points and 10 assists, while Han Xu added 17 points off the bench, per ESPN and CBS Sports game recaps.
The Mercury kept the game close throughout, denying the Liberty the kind of comfortable margin the question required. The tight finish reflected Phoenix's competitiveness down the stretch of the WNBA regular season rather than a lopsided mismatch between the two playoff-contending teams.
The community was evenly split at 50% heading into the game, a reasonable reflection of genuine uncertainty about margin of victory, even though the exact "win by more than 10" framing made the specific outcome hard to call regardless of which team won. New York's win kept it in playoff positioning, while Phoenix's narrow loss preserved momentum despite falling just short.
