A season ago, the Connecticut Sun accounted for one-third of the Minnesota Lynx’s six losses. They have just one more shot in 2017.
The two teams meet for the third and final time this season on Saturday at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
The Sun were 14-20 in 2016, but somehow figured out the league’s best team, taking two of three from the Lynx. Minnesota was 27-4 against the rest of the league.
The 2017 version of the Sun, 4-5 after a 96-76 thrashing of New York on Wednesday, is looking for its fourth straight win.
