News from the Connecticut Sun Team

In Game One, Alyssa Thomas achieved her fourth career playoff triple-double with 12 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, while Marina Mabrey set a new WNBA playoff record by scoring 27 points as a substitute, including an impressive 20 in the second half.

The Sun are a seasoned, playoff-experienced team that knows what it takes to win important elimination games. Their vast experience – a total of 222 postseason games before the playoffs – was clearly on display in Game 1 and could be a deciding factor in this matchup as well.

Fifteen-year veteran DeWanna Bonner was entrusted with guarding Clark and proved to be a significant disruptive factor throughout the game. Her ability to Clark in one-on-one situations was crucial to the Sun’s defensive strategy, as it allowed them to avoid double coverage and effectively counter the Fever’s other shooters.

While experience plays a crucial role for the Suns, one of the standout factors in their success in Game 1 was Mabrey’s remarkable shooting off the bench. Mabrey gives the Sun a scoring force that can keep up with the Fever’s three-point specialists.

If the Sun’s defense isn’t as good as it was last game, Mabrey’s shooting might prove even more important. While another 27-point explosion might be too much to expect, expect Mabrey to once again have a significant impact.
