The Phoenix Mercury’s 1998 season was special. They finished the season with a record of 19-11, and after beating the Cleveland Rockers in their first playoff matchup, they reached the WNBA Finals.
The Mercury faced the Houston Comets in the Finals, and despite winning the first game, Phoenix lost the series. The Comets won the next two, and they won their second championship. That team made history, and they won two more championships in 1999 and 2000.
Phoenix may have lost, but it was still a great season. In a way, it was reminiscent of this year. Regardless, the Mercury’s players did well, and some of the team’s top players had notable seasons.
