After their inability to limit turnovers finally caught up to them, the Phoenix Mercury hope to put together much cleaner possessions following a week of preparation for the WNBA's only winless team. As Tulsa looks to avoid its fourth straight 0-4 start, the Mercury seek their best start since their title-winning season five years ago with a fifth consecutive victory over the visiting Shock on Friday night.
