Connecticut Sun Achieve First Back-to-Back Wins Amid Season Struggles

The Connecticut Sun have shown significant improvement late in their challenging WNBA season, currently on a season-best three-game winning streak after defeating the Chicago Sky 94-84. Tina Charles has been a key player, scoring 23 points against Chicago to mark her 200th career double-double and leading the team in multiple recent wins, including back-to-back victories over the Washington Mystics. The Sun have demonstrated strong defense and team effort, with contributions from Bria Hartley, Marina Mabrey, and rookie Leila Lacan, despite being already eliminated from playoff contention. Connecticut has managed to win consecutive games for the first time this season and snapped a long road losing streak, showing promise as the season winds down. The Chicago Sky remain tied with Connecticut for the worst record in the league, while the Mystics have struggled in recent matchups. The Sun's improved play includes aggressive defense, efficient offense, and strong bench contributions, signaling potential momentum for their remaining games.
