Mercury's Alyssa Thomas bags record 3rd triple-double in row

PHOENIX -- Alyssa Thomas had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to become the first WNBA player with three straight triple-doubles, and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Indiana Fever 95-60 on Thursday night for their third consecutive victory.

Thomas secured her 19th career triple-double -- no other WNBA player has had more than four -- with 3:47 left on a pass to the corner for DeWanna Bonner's 3-pointer. Thomas has 41 points, 33 rebounds and 32 assists in her past three games.

"Just a huge honor," Thomas said. "A lot of credit to my teammates. They helped me get this one tonight. But to be first ever, not a lot of people can say that about anything."

Bonner finished with a season-high 23 points. Satou Sabally had 15 points and eight rebounds, and Kahleah Copper scored 11 for Phoenix.
