Team Overview & Recent Performance
Connecticut Sun (2-6, 0-3 Away)
The Sun have struggled this season, losing five of their last six games. Their most recent defeat came against the New York Liberty, where they fell 82-71 despite a strong effort from Tina Charles (16 PTS, 5 REB) and Marina Mabrey (15 PTS, 5 REB, 3 AST). Connecticut ranks last in the WNBA in three-point shooting (29.7%), which has contributed to their offensive struggles. They will need better perimeter efficiency to compete against Washington’s defense.
Washington Mystics (3-6, 2-2 Home)
The Mystics have been inconsistent, but they secured a solid 90-85 win over Connecticut in their previous matchup on May 18. Ariel Atkins (22 PTS, 6 AST) and Shakira Austin (14 PTS, 9 REB) led the charge in that game. Washington has been strong defensively, ranking third in the WNBA in opponent field goal percentage (41.5%). Their ability to limit Connecticut’s scoring opportunities will be key in this rematch.
