Satou Sabally scored 25 points, Alyssa Thomas added 19 and the Phoenix Mercury held off the Los Angeles Sparks 89-86

With her 25-point performance, Sabally made history by becoming the first player in Mercury franchise history to open a season with back-to-back 25+ point games.

She joined WNBA legends in Candace Parker and Lauren Jackson, and current superstars A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart as the only players to put up a stat line for 23+ points 17+ rebounds, at least one blocked shot, at least two made three-pointers and at least seven made free-throws, the team announced.

We have a monster WNBA weekend ahead, with 10 games stretched out from Friday night to Sunday night. Of Friday's four contests, two feature double-digit spreads and two of them are early-season rematches.

Azurá Stevens finishes with 21 points, but Rickea Jackson sustains an injury as the Sparks fade in the second half of an 89-75 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.

The Mystics are in the midst of a major rebuild, but their 94-90 win over the Atlanta Dream could be a sign they'll fare better than their preseason expectations. As a Washington, D.C., native, Durant had to be excited with first-round draft picks Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron each scoring in double figures.
