The Sun never stood a chance in this one. They trailed by 15 after the opening 10 minutes and by 28 points heading into halftime. Golden State later stretched the deficit to 35 points in the final frame, stymying any comeback hopes Connecticut may have had.

Charlisse Leger-Walker delivered a solid 17-point performance of 5-for-6 shooting, including a 3-for-4 effort from 3-point range. Nell Angloma added 11 points, converting three of her seven shot attempts. Unfortunately for the Sun, the offense never got on track. Connecticut shot just 31 percent overall and 19 percent from 3-point territory. The lack of efficiency made it nearly impossible to keep pace against the league’s top defense.

Indiana looks to build on dominant win over the Sky

The bad news is the Fever had dropped two straight. The good news is they snapped the skid with a 113-90 victory over the Chicago Sky.

Indiana was unable to create significant separation early on, leading by one point at the break. However, the Fever came out with a sense of urgency in the second half, outscoring Chicago by a 63-39 over the final two quarters, including a game-changing 30-13 surge in the fourth quarter.

Caitlin Clark was phenomenal, finishing with a 37-point, 10-assist double-double. Kelsey Mitchell scored 30 points and knocked down six of the Indiana’s 18 made 3-pointers, anchoring an offense that featured four double-digit scorers.
