From Matt Stout of the Norwich Bulletin:

Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault didn’t intend on ticking off Kerri Gardin.

Maybe he should.

Benched in the fourth quarter Tuesday in Connecticut’s 78-75 loss at Chicago, Gardin emerged as a force in the latter half of a back-to-back with the Sky on Friday, flirting with a triple double and employing everything in her versatile skill set.
