LOS ANGELES — The Phoenix Mercury’s 94-87 win over the Los Angeles Sparks concluded a tough five-game road trip and was highlighted by forward Noémie Brochant’s career night, putting her in elite rookie company alongside Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. Phoenix had been on a three-game skid coming into Los Angeles, with tough losses in the eastern part of the country before returning west looking to end the trip on a high note.
