INDIANAPOLIS -- Diana Taurasi scored 20 points, DeWanna Bonner had 11 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Indiana Fever 89-78 on Wednesday night in a single-elimination game of the WNBA playoffs.Tamika Catchings, who played in her final game, and the entire Indiana team knelt with their arms intertwined during the national anthem. Two members of the Mercury, Kelsey Bone and Mistie Bass, also took a knee.This game of basketball is important for a lot of reasons. One of them is bringing people together. Even uniting people, Catchings said about the impromptu kneeling during the national anthem. Well, we thought it was important to have a voice about something greater than basketball.WNBA President Lisa Borders, who was in Atlanta for the playoff game between the Dream and Seattle backed the players choice to kneel.I support our players expressing their views on important social issues, Borders said in a statement. Standing for an anthem is a sign of respect and a demonstration of unity across many cultures throughout the world. The call to action is for all of us to invest time and resources to help rebuild and strengthen our communities. And we have been actively working with the players on this next impactful effort.Briann January made a reverse layup with 2:39 remaining to pull Indiana to 77-72 and she drew an offensive foul on Taurasi on the other end. Erlana Larkins had a putback on Indianas next possession to cap a 10-1 run to make it 77-74.But Phoenix answered with a 6-1 run -- on free throws by Taurasi, Penny Taylor and Bonner -- for an 83-75 lead.Brittney Griner added 18 points, nine rebounds and three blocks for Phoenix, which will play at New York on Saturday. Bonner was just 2 of 5 from the floor in the first half.When I got in the second half, I told myself I was going to be aggressive, Bonner said. Because I felt like I was a little tentative and a little scared in the first half.Catchings and Marissa Coleman each scored 13 points as all five starters for Indiana scored in double figures. Shenise Johnson made two free throws to tie Tiffany Mitchells franchise record with 42 consecutive made free throws.Catchings left the floor at the final buzzer to a standing ovation from the crowd and she hugged every Indiana teammate, including a long embrace with January. Then she hugged each player on the Phoenix team.Before the game, Catchings received the 2016 Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award prior to the opening tip.

They have a current contract, five years and three, and they are very happy to be here, and we are very happy too, he told a news conference ahead of the London derby clash with West Ham on Saturday.Thats the most important thing. There is some rumours that can affect our fans but they should not be worried about things like this because the players want to be in the long-term.I think they are talking maybe about improving and extending the contract and I think in the future it wont be a problem to do. I am very happy.Always you want to keep your best players and pay what they deserve but I think the club is doing a great job, and the players too. I think we cannot be worried about things like this because they are happy and want to be at Tottenham.

Everyone else is available for selection.From the beginning we believed it would be a very short process with Toby [who has a knee injury], but then it was very slow. Today he is near to joining the group, which is good news. Maybe he will be one week 10 days more. Watch a preview of the Saturdays Premier League fixtures including Manchester Utd v Arsenal and Tottenham v West Ham Ben Davies is a little bit longer, but not sure of the process to be back.ddddddddddddWe are very happy that Dele showed today he is in very good condition. Then we need to analyse if it is good to take a risk or not, or be on the bench, or maybe we need to protect him for Tuesday. Its not a big issue and if not Saturday, for Tuesday [away to Monaco in the Champions League] he will be in the squad.Danny Rose is expected to play some part against the Hammers and Pochettino intimated he may have to change the way he approaches the game after featuring for England in the 3-0 World Cup Qualifier win over Scotland and the 2-2 friendly draw with Spain. Danny Rose (left) played for England against Scotland and Spain Always its the national teams decision to select the players. I cannot say anything about that, he said.If he is [in] condition to play there is nothing to do. I dont want to complain because we need to change our plan to prepare the game for Saturday with him, to give him more rest so he can arrive in better condition, physically and mentally.Its true it wasnt the better thing for him to play two games because against Spain he played 78 minutes and it was tough for him after the last few months were tough for him.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
