Game Preview
The Connecticut Sun aim to bounce back from a recent defeat to the Indiana Fever—their first regular season loss to them in three years—as they face off against the Washington Mystics on Saturday.
Connecticut, standing at 22-8, was surprised by the Fever with an 84-80 loss in Indianapolis last Wednesday. This setback followed a victory over the league-leading New York Liberty. Despite the loss, Connecticut has maintained a strong record against the Fever, having won their previous 11 encounters.
The Sun also hold an impressive streak against the Mystics, winning all three matchups this season and extending their winning streak to eight games dating back to 2022.
DiJonai Carrington was a standout in the loss to the Fever, scoring 19 points alongside four rebounds and two assists. Alyssa Thomas also performed well with 17 points, her highest post-Olympic break.
Ty Harris reached a milestone by surpassing 1,000 career WNBA points during the game.
Carrington showcased her defensive skills with a career-high six steals while guarding standout Caitlin Clark. Sun head coach Stephanie White praised Carrington’s performance, emphasizing her impact on both ends of the court.
Meanwhile, the Mystics (9-22) are experiencing a resurgence with a three-game win streak, the longest of the season, which includes a 74-70 win against the Chicago Sky. However, Mystics coach Eric Thibault has yet to secure a win against the Sun in his coaching tenure.
Stefanie Dolson and Ariel Atkins led the Mystics in their recent victory, contributing 17 and 15 points respectively. Shakira Austin missed the game due to an ankle injury.
With the playoff race heating up, the Mystics are currently 2 1/2 games behind the Sky for the final playoff spot, with nine games left in the regular season. Dolson acknowledged the importance of each game, noting the significant impact a win can have on their standings.
This matchup presents an opportunity for both teams to advance their positions as the postseason approaches.
