Officiating was a touchy subject for Phoenix Mercury guards Sophie Cunningham and Diana Taurasi following Thursday's 103-99 loss to the Las Vegas Aces. Neither seemed too pleased with a late no-call that proved to be critical.
Phoenix wasn't happy with the call. We'll let you decide for yourself if a foul should've been called against Young on the play:"I think we came out really well in the first quarter. Defensively, we were on top of it. Moving the ball offensively, shots were going in for us," Cunningham said of Phoenix's performance. "Second half, that was a tough stretch. There's a lot of things we could've controlled.
