The No. 3 seed Connecticut Sun made a statement with Sunday’s 68-63 Game 1 win over the No. 2 Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. It didn’t matter that the Sky are the defending champs and had won seven of their previous eight matchups against Connecticut, including last season’s semifinals. The Sun set the tone in Chicago from the get-go, thriving in a physical, sluggish game that worked largely in their favor.
But the Sky aren’t panicking. Chicago bounced back from a Game 1 home loss to the New York Liberty in the first round to handily take the next two matchups and advance to the semifinals. And as a team that survived two single-elimination games last season on its way to winning a WNBA title, James Wade’s squad knows how to play its best basketball when its back is against the wall.
A win either Monday or Wednesday over New York will be enough to ensure Dallas a playoff berth.
Dallas (16-16) picked the right time to get hot, and has moved to the head of the pack. As of Sunday, the Wings are in sixth place and two games ahead of Atlanta, 2 1/2 up on Phoenix and three in front of New York with four games left to play.
