Teams Preview

Connecticut Suns

The Connecticut Sun pushed the Toronto Tempo to the limit but came up just short in a 101-97 loss at home. The Suns managed to build an early advantage and lead the first half, but their momentum slowed and fell behind in the second half, allowing Toronto to make a comeback.

Kennedy Burke led the scoring with 18 points, while Brittney Griner and Leila Lacan added 16 points each. In total the team had five players scoring in double figures, but their efforts weren't enough against a strong Toronto side.

Offensively, the team shot 46.1% from the field, 27.3% from the perimeter and 80.8% from the free throw line. Defensively, they controlled the boards 35-33, recorded 9 steals and forced the opponents to commit 15 turnovers, but made key defensive lapses when needed the most. 

The defeat highlighted both the Sun’s resilience and their ongoing struggles to close out games. Scoring 97 points against one of the league’s stronger offenses is a positive step, but Connecticut still needs greater defensive consistency and late game execution to turn competitive performances into wins.

Overall, the team averages 75 points per game, while dishing out 17 assists. Defensively, they record 34 rebounds, but allow opponents to score 78.5 points per game. 

Chicago Sky

The Chicago Sky suffered a heartbreaking 93-92 loss to the Dallas Wings after letting a 14 point fourth quarter lead slip away.

Kamilla Cardoso was outstanding, finishing with 26 points and 9 rebounds while consistently exploiting Dallas inside. Sydney Taylor added 18 points, while Skylar Diggins contributed 14 points and Natasha Cloud chipped in 10 points, but their efforts fell short.

Offensively, Chicago shot 47.1% from the field, but struggled with 30.4% from the perimeter and 65.5% from the free throw line. Defensively, they controlled the boards (43-35), but made key defensive lapses, committed 15 turnovers and allowed the hosts to convert 40% from the perimeter. 

Despite the loss, Cardoso’s dominance and the team’s two quarter performance showed Chicago can compete. The challenge now is turning strong stretches into complete 40 minute efforts.

Overall, the team averages 91 points per game, while dishing out 18 assists. Defensively, they record 28.5 rebounds, but allow opponents to score 97.5 points per game.
