Connecticut won at home. It was by no means easy: the Comets repeatedly closed to within one point, but Taj McWilliams-Franklin came up with a rebound and a basket to seal the game.

As in their loss to New York, the Comets were led by Swoopes (21 points) and Michelle Snow, who didn't get much help (though Arcain scored 14). Snow: "We just weren't playing defense in the first half. We had to play catch-up and it cost us the game."

For the Sun, Kool Keesh scored 22, and Asjha Jones had a big game. Coach Thibault: ""We needed to play in a game like this where you have to defend in the last minute, make plays."
