On Tuesday evening, the WNBA playoffs saw the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces advance to the semifinals after sweeping their respective first-round series. The excitement continued on Wednesday as the Connecticut Sun joined them, securing a 2-0 series victory over the Indiana Fever with a thrilling 87-81 win.
The game began with the Fever taking an early lead, racing out to a 14-6 advantage thanks to a strong performance on both ends of the court. Indiana’s offense was clicking, and their defense effectively stifled Connecticut’s scoring opportunities. However, as the first quarter progressed, the Sun found their rhythm. With just over three minutes remaining in the quarter, they began to connect on shots, which allowed them to set up their defense more effectively.
This shift in momentum proved crucial. The Sun closed out the quarter on an impressive 11-0 run, turning a deficit into a 17-14 lead as they headed into the second period. The combination of improved shooting and solid defense not only shifted the game’s dynamics but also established a foundation for Connecticut’s eventual victory, highlighting their resilience and ability to adjust under pressure.
