NATASHA MACK NEWS

Limited to just seven minutes Mack supplied zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist in seven minutes during Wednesday's 90-88 loss to the Aces in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.

Impact Mack was the start, but she did next to nothing, going scoreless. The Mercury leaned on DeWanna Bonner and Sami Whitcomb for heavy minutes off the bench, in part to pick up the slack of Mack, and also due to Satou Sabally (head) leaving the game early. Mack could see a larger role in Game 4 if Sabally is on the shelf.
