A defining showdown awaits in Connecticut with speculation over the franchise’s future
The Connecticut Sun host their final game of the season against the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday. With the sale of the franchise, and relocation talks, this may also be the last WNBA game on the Connecticut turf.
The Sun lost their previous game against the Atlanta Dream, as both sides took on each other in a same contest on Monday. The Dream started the game leading the first half.
The Connecticut Sun weren’t far away with an equally intensified performance. However, their third quarter performance of 9-23 ensured the game was gone, and out of reach. This trend also continued in the fourth quarter.
Numbers don’t lie, another #AllWNBA performance.

I cover NBA at the Playoffs. I specialize in covering breaking news, Previews, in-depth analysis (breaking down numbers, complex stats, nuances of the game, and converting them into reader-friendly content). Furthermore, I got into the sports media while looking for an entry into the media industry. I love International Relations, and since entry without majoring in the subject was difficult, I got into sports. Now, while majoring in International Relations on one side, I also like covering sports as part of the journey as a young Journalist.
