Connecticut has to go to Minnesota for the deciding game of the three-game series and the Sun will need to step up their defense and force turnovers as they did in Game 1 when they outscored the Lynx 30-9 on points off turnovers. DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas combined for 50 points and 13 rebounds in Game 2, but they didn't get enough help from the rest of their teammates, especially on the defensive end. Connecticut still has won eight of the past 10 meetings and covered the spread in six of them, and the Sun are 15-5-1 ATS with two days rest and they have bounced back to cover four straight following a loss. The Lynx are 1-5 ATS with two days rest and 2-5 ATS after an ATS win. Minnesota has lost five of its past eight games. Play the Sun as my WNBA Playoffs Game of the Year.
