Connecticut SunvsDallas Wings
CON 63/DAL 83
Things to say
Dallas Wings beat the Connecticut Sun 83-63 at home.
01
opener
Wings handled the Sun, 83-63. Never really close after the half. Dallas just kept getting whatever they wanted in the paint.
02
key player
Jessica Shepard did it all — 15 and 9, plus she was setting everybody up. Quiet double-double type game.
03
hot take
Connecticut is cooked. 7-23 and it shows. They couldn't buy a bucket outside of Diamond Miller.
04
deep cut
Miller dropped 22 for the Sun and it was basically for nothing. When your best game is in a 20-point loss, that tells you everything.
05
exit
Wings are climbing at 19-11. Curious to see if they can keep it rolling against somebody with a pulse.
The recap
Dallas took care of business at home, running the Sun off the floor 83-63 in a game that was never really close. Jessica Shepard did the dirty work with a 15-point, 9-board double-double, and Dallas just ate them up on the glass and in the paint all night.
Diamond Miller went for 22 to keep Connecticut breathing, but she was basically a one-woman show and it wasn't enough. The Sun couldn't buy a bucket outside of her, and at 7-23 they took another ugly L.
