Connecticut Sun: a long-awaited victory should boost confidence

Paige Bueckers once again led the way, recording 25 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. Overall, Dallas has looked much more consistent this season: the team averages 88.4 points per game, ranks second in the league in assists, and rarely commits a high number of turnovers.

Can Connecticut keep it close? Prediction for Connecticut Sun vs Dallas Wings
Dallas outperforms their opponent in nearly all key statistical categories and boasts a much stronger offensive arsenal. However, their latest defeat showed that the team can struggle if they fail to find their shooting rhythm early.
Connecticut gained a confidence boost after their win over Washington and will likely focus on defense and slowing the pace. If the hosts can once again deliver a quality effort on their own end, avoiding a blowout is well within reach.
