UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Championship windows only come around so often. And when they do, they only stay open for so long.
That’s something Connecticut Sun coaches and players have had honest conversations about this postseason. They’d gotten close to winning it all in each of the last few years, making the WNBA finals in 2019 and the semifinals in 2020 and 2021, but each time fell short. With free agency and salary cap restrictions expected to shake up the roster this offseason, the Sun entered an elimination game Tuesday night with the clock ticking.
Back in the same position as last year, down 2-1 to the Chicago Sky in the semifinals, Connecticut pulled out a 104-80 victory at Mohegan Sun Arena to extend the best-of-five series.
