The Phoenix Mercury missed their first six shots in overtime and struggled from the field in an 80-72 loss to the San Antonio Silver Stars, who had four players in double figures.

The Mercury trailed, 66-63, during the closing seconds and watched rookie star Diana Taurasi miss a pair of three-pointers. But the Silver Stars could not control the rebound of either shot and Penny Taylor made them pay by drilling a 28-footer to tie.

The Charlotte Sting used a WNBA record-setting defensive performance to limit the Indiana Fever to nine baskets en route to a 46-37 victory.

The Fever's 9-of-48 (19 percent) performance from the floor was one basket below the previous all-time league low.
