After the 2020 WNBA season was brought to a halt earlier in the week in solidarity with the Milwaukee Bucks going on strike, the Connecticut Sun resumed action on Friday night in the IMG Academy in Florida. It, uh, didn’t end well for our favorite WNBA team.
The first half was back and forth action with Los Angeles and Connecticut flipping the lead back and forth 11 times. The Sun took the advantage late in the second quarter, ripping off an 8-1 run in the final two minutes of the half. That flipped the game from a 31-all tie to a 39-32 Sun lead at the break.
