Phoenix Mercury coach Nate Tibbets was critical of his team’s defense after allowing the Las Vegas Aces to average 90 points through the first two games of the WNBA Finals.

Defense isn't the Mercury’s only problem as they head home.

Down 2-0 after a 91-78 loss on Sunday, Phoenix needs to rediscover its bench and its three-point touch in Games 3 and 4 at home this week.

Kahleah Copper finished with 23 points on 50% shooting Sunday, while Satou Sabally had 22 points and Alyssa Thomas scored 10.
