For JonLP24...Mercury end 14-game losing streak to Lynx

MINNEAPOLIS -- Led by Diana Taurasi, the Phoenix Mercury ended their long losing streak against the defending champion Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.

Taurasi had 21 points and 11 assists, Candice Dupree had 18 points and 10 rebounds and the Mercury (8-3) beat the Lynx 80-72.

Phoenix topped Minnesota for the first time since 2011 -- a streak spanning 10 regular season and four playoff games.

"It's nice to win here, they are the champs and they don't lose at home," Taurasi said. "But I was never really frustrated about it. When you're the better team and you beat us, I mean ... that's sports."
