Alyssa Thomas and the Connecticut Sun secured a spot in the WNBA semifinals by defeating the Indiana Fever 87-81 in Game 2 of their opening round series. Thomas led the Sun with 19 points and 13 assists, while Caitlin Clark put up 25 points for the Fever. Despite Indiana’s efforts, the Sun sealed the win with key plays in the closing moments of the game.
The Sun will now face the Minnesota Lynx in the semifinals, which are set to begin on Sunday. This victory marked a significant milestone for the Sun, who have previously been forced to win a decisive third game on the road in the first round in the past two seasons under the current playoff format.
The game saw back-and-forth action, with both teams fighting hard for the win. The Fever showed resilience by climbing back into the game after trailing in the third quarter. However, the Sun’s experience and determination ultimately prevailed, allowing them to secure the victory at home.
With Thomas leading the charge and players like DeWanna Bonner making crucial plays down the stretch, the Sun demonstrated their readiness for the challenges that lie ahead in the playoffs. As they look ahead to the semifinals, the Sun are confident and hungry for more success as they continue their postseason journey.
