Connecticut Looks to Reverse Recent Results

Connecticut enters this game with a 1-8 overall record and a 0-3 record at home. The Sun have struggled recently, losing four of their last five games. Connecticut recently lost to Portland, recently lost to Golden State, and recently lost to Seattle before earning a narrow victory over Seattle. The Sun then recently lost to Portland again in their most recent outing.

The Sun are averaging 74.7 points per game while allowing 88.9 points per contest. Connecticut is shooting 41 percent from the field and averaging 33.6 rebounds per game, which is higher than Los Angeles. The Sun also contribute 17.9 assists, 3.2 blocks, and 8.4 steals per contest.

One positive area for Connecticut has been its rebounding and defensive activity. The Sun average more rebounds, blocks, and steals than Los Angeles. Those categories could become important if Connecticut is able to slow the pace and create extra possessions against a Sparks team that prefers to score efficiently.
