Connecticut Sun don’t need to talk about their past against Sky to be fueled by it

The Sun don’t talk about last year. 

They don’t talk about their 26-10 first-place finish — the best in franchise history — in the 2021 regular season or the fact they were favored to win it all. They don’t talk about their bye into the semifinals or, in Game 1 on their home court, how the sixth-seeded Sky snapped the 12-game winning streak they carried into the postseason.
