After stumbling to an 0-5 start in 2020, the Connecticut Sun have started the 2021 WNBA season 5-0. Can they extended their season-opening unbeaten streak to 6-0?
Tuesday night, they complete the final leg of their three-game west coast road trip, meeting the Seattle Storm at Angel of the Winds Arena at 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network).
Even though the Sun are missing their engine in Alyssa Thomas, head coach Curt Miller has the Sun machine humming, powered by its starting five of Jonquel Jones, DeWanna Bonner, Brionna Jones, Jasmine Thomas and Natisha Hiedeman. (Although, it will be assistant coaches Brandi Poole and Chris Koclanes at the helm, as Miller is suspended for his insensitive comments about Liz Cambage during the Sun’s victory over the Las Vegas Aces.) Connecticut currently sports the WNBA’s best offense (107.4 rating), second-best defense (91.0 rating) and best overall net rating (16.4).
