The Phoenix Mercury's slogan for the 2007 WNBA playoffs was "One team, one city, one goal."
On Tuesday, it was one big party as the new WNBA champions and about 1,000 of their fans celebrated at a U.S. Airways Center rally. A championship banner was unfurled as purple and gold confetti fluttered from the ceiling.
Phoenix rallied from a 2-1 deficit to beat Detroit in the best-of-five series. The final score of the clincher - PHX 108, DET 92 - flashed on a scoreboard above the dais.
Championships are rare in this city. Among the four major pro sports teams, only the Arizona Diamondbacks, in 2001, have brought a trophy to the desert.
Way to go Phoenix Mercury!
