PHOENIX (AP) Adriana Moises made a layup over Ann Wauters, who is 10 inches taller, with 3.1 seconds left to give Phoenix a 59-57 victory over the Cleveland Rockers on Wednesday night, snapping the Mercury's four-game losing streak.

Merlakia Jones missed a 15-foot jumper at the buzzer, sending Cleveland (10-18) to its third straight loss.

Moises hit two free throws with 31 seconds left to break a 55-55 tie but Wauters, who finished with 16 points, made a layup five seconds later to tie it.

After a timeout with 20 seconds left, Moises took the inbounds pass and dribbled against Cleveland's Jennifer Rizzotti until driving to the basket, getting her shot past Rizzotti and the 6-foot-4 Wauters.

Phoenix (10-20) had lost 16 of its last 18 coming into the game.

Jennifer Gillom led the Mercury with 15 points despite shooting just 3-of-11 from the field.

Gillom made three free throws with 1:41 left to get Phoenix even at 55 after being fouled by Wauters way beyond the 3-point line. Gillom was 8-of-8 from the free throw line.

Lisa Harrison scored 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting for Phoenix, while Susanna Bonfiglio added 12 points.

Chastity Melvin had 12 points and nine rebounds for Cleveland.

Notes: The Mercury on Wednesday retired the No. 7 jersey worn for the franchise's first five seasons by Michelle Timms, who retired at the end of last season after 17 years as a professional in her native Australia and in the WNBA. She became an analyst on Mercury radio and television broadcasts this season before stepping in to help coach Linda Sharp, who took over midseason after Cynthia Cooper resigned. Timms retired as the franchise leader in career assists (551), assists in a season (158), career steals (188) and steals in a season (71). Timms jersey is just the second retired in the six-year history of the WNBA. Houston retired No. 10 in 2000 in honor of the late Kim Perrot.
