Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx: Players to watch out for

Alyssa Thomas is unquestionably the most important player for Connecticut. The 32-year-old veteran's ability to impact both ends of the court and perform under pressure in clutch moments has been pivotal for the Sun throughout the season.

In Game 1, Thomas delivered in the clutch, scoring four crucial points late to secure the win for Connecticut. The five-time All-Star narrowly missed another playoff triple-double, falling just one assist short. She finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, and three steals.

The Sun will be counting on their star to deliver another all-around masterclass in Game 2.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Lynx's hopes rest on reigning Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier. After averaging 40 points per game in the first-round series against the Phoenix Mercury, Collier cooled off in Game 1, managing just 19 points.

The Sun's defense effectively contained the Lynx's star player, leaving the pressure on coach Cheryl Reeve to develop a game plan that positions Collier for success in Game 2.
