The Connecticut Sun host the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday in Game 4 of their 2024 WNBA semifinal series. The Lynx are up 2-1 in the best-of-five series and will look to secure their spot in the Finals with a road win while the Sun looks to even the series.
The second-seeded Lynx lost home-court advantage, as they lost Game 1, 73-70, to the Sun at home. Minnesota bounced back with a 77-70 win in Game 2 before gaining back the advantage with a 90-81 Game 3 road win on Friday.
Napheesa Collier led the Lynx's victory charge on Friday with a double-double performance of 26 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. Meanwhile, Brionna Jones led the Sun's losing effort with 21 points, four rebounds and five assists.
Minnesota secured Game 3 as a 2.5-point underdog. They seemed to have dissected Connecticut's stout defense, which has been the Sun's highlight this season. The outcome likely prompted Connecticut to try a different starting combination for the upcoming must-win game while Minnesota is expected to double down on its success formula.
