In the early hours of today, there was only one game in the WNBA, where the struggling Sun faced off against the surging Mystics on a three-game winning streak.
Ultimately, the Sun defeated the Mystics 96-85, reversing their own downward trend while ending the Mystics’ three-game winning streak and securing their position as second in the league.
New recruit Marbury scored 21 points, and five other players also scored in double digits. However, core player Thomas, who has just recovered from an injury, is concerning with her form, having played for 7 minutes without scoring any points in this game.
The Sun will face the Storm in a back-to-back game tomorrow, while the Mystics will have two days of rest before playing away against the Wings. This round of games will likely have a significant impact on the playoff standings.
