With the win in their regular-season finale,
the Sun (28-12) clinched the No. 3 seed in the playoffs and will
face sixth-seed Indiana in the first round starting Sunday.
The loss eliminated Chicago (13-27) from playoff contention. To
qualify for the playoffs as the eighth seed, the Sky needed to
beat the Sun and also needed the Atlanta Dream and Washington
Mystics to lose. Chicago was winless in four games against
Connecticut this season.
Dana Evans scored 14 points for the Sky, Isabelle Harrison had
13 and Kaela Davis added 12.
Connecticut lead 20-15 after the first quarter and made it a
double-digit contest going up 46-35 at halftime. The Sun's 23-6
outburst in the third sealed it.
Harris finished 6-for-9 shooting and Alyssa Thomas scored 13 on
5-for-6 shooting. Marina Mabrey and Olivia Nelson-Ododa each
scored 12 and DeWanna Bonner scored 11.
