Clutch shotmaking down the stretch saw the Phoenix Mercury squeak by the struggling Connecticut Sun, 83-75 on Wednesday. The Mercury (9-4) took a 19-point lead in the second quarter and later held a 16-point lead past the midway point of the third quarter but had a difficult time putting the Sun (2-10) away. The Mercury got off to a strong start by getting to the foul line early, but the Sun slowed the game down and forced Phoenix out of playing in transition.

Diamondbacks owner and managing partner Ken Kendrick said he wants to wait to see how competitive the team is before deciding whether to invest in them around the trade deadline. An abysmal stretch in May saw the Diamondbacks lose nine out of 10 to fall four games under .500, but after starting the month of June 9-4, the Diamondbacks (36-35) find themselves 3.5 games outside of a Wild Card spot and currently trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by 6.5 games in the division.
