Playoff game...

Steph and Dan enjoy basketball.  When we were in Phoenix this spring, we took in a Phoenix Suns' game.  Today was the playoff game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Minnesota Lynx.  Steph and Dan have gone to a lot of the Mercury games this season, and have season tickets for next year.  They treated us to this playoff game!

After lunch with a bunch of their friends near the stadium, we walked the short distance to the game.  Well, 3 of us walked, Steph rolled there, pushing with one foot on her scooter... she tore a muscle in her leg last month and is rolling instead of walking.  Because of this, we had seats on the floor in the Handicapped Area.

Checking out the Brittney Griner poster on the way in...

Greiner is 6'8" tall, a wingspan of 7'4".  She is Steph's favorite player.

Settled into our seats...

Both teams warming up...

It was a good game, but the Mercury lost it in the 4th quarter...

End of the season for the Mercury; the Lynx are in the finals against the Atlanta Dream.

We were among the first 3,000 to get in the stadium, so we received free t-shirts and white pom-poms.  The Mercury fans are loud, and there was plenty of action on and off the court.  It was an entertaining afternoon.  With Steph's leg in a cast, we were allowed to use the elevator instead of the steps.  It was quieter on the way out.  Check out the pom-poms...
