Turnovers and free-throw shooting made the difference in this matchup. The Sun showed composure as they made 18 of their 22 shots at the line while only turning the ball over eight times. It wasn’t the case for the Sky, missing 11 of their 26 chances at the charity stripe while committing 17 turnovers.
Four players scored in double-digits on Connecticut’s behalf. Tina Charles led the way with 23 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and a block.

The Sun will prepare for their next matchup, being on the road. They face the New York Liberty on Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. ET.
