- The Connecticut Sun defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 84-81 on Saturday at PeoplesBank Arena, snapping the Sparks' three-game win streak. Aneesah Morrow led the Sun with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
- Morrow secured her fourth consecutive double-double, helping the Sun overcome their recent struggles. Connecticut had previously lost three consecutive games by double figures, entering with a 1-8 record.
- Ariel Atkins and Rae Burrell led the Sparks with 16 points each, while Nneka Ogwumike added 12 points and three rebounds to reach 3,315 career rebounds, tying fifth in WNBA history.
- Sun forward Brittney Griner returned from a four-game absence but exited early with an eye injury. Despite a late push, the Sparks got no closer after Burrell's three-pointer made it 81-79 with 52 seconds left.
- Up next, the Sparks host Las Vegas on Tuesday. Kelsey Plum, the WNBA's leading scorer at 28.6 points per game, will be re-evaluated for an ankle injury before the matchup.
