Connecticut hosts Minnesota after a one-point win in the first matchup.
The Connecticut Sun return home looking to build on a thrilling 90-89 victory over the Minnesota Lynx as the two teams meet for the second time this season at Mohegan Sun Arena. After narrowly escaping with a one-point win in the first matchup, Connecticut will look to take a 2-0 lead in the season series before the teams meet again in September.
The first meeting came down to the final possession, showcasing how evenly matched the two teams can be. Now, with another opportunity to face one of the WNBA’s top contenders, the Sun will look to prove their previous win was no fluke.
While the first meeting ended in Connecticut’s favor, the Lynx will likely make adjustments after falling just short. Minnesota remains one of the league’s strongest teams, meaning the Sun will need another complete performance on both ends of the floor to earn a second consecutive win in the season series.
Wednesday’s matchup presents another opportunity for the Sun to measure themselves against one of the WNBA’s best teams. With a chance to take a 2-0 advantage in the season series, Connecticut will look to build on its previous success before the teams meet for the final time later this season.
Top-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at Mohegan Sun Arena. The game will be broadcast nationally on the USA Network.
