Connecticut Sun finds himself in an unfamiliar territory after losing a series of games for the first time this season.
The Sun (12-6) tries to stop the slide when it visits the Atlanta Dream (8-9) in College Park, Georgia on Sunday afternoon.
Connecticut won 6 games in the previous 7 games before losing 81-77 to New York on Wednesday after making a 71-63 decision in Washington last Sunday.
"We will look in the mirror of each and every one of us to see how we can improve and how we can improve individually," said security guard Natisha Hedeman. Said on New London Day.
Courtney Williams scored 16 points against Liberty on June 15th with Sun's 105-92 victory over Atlanta, the season's best 20 and 8 times. Achieved a rebound.
"They (dreams) kept going under the screen. If they keep going under the screen, I'll keep illuminating them," Williams said after the game at Hartford. I told Coolant.
This performance may have become more important to Williams, who played in Atlanta in the last two seasons.
Jonquel Jones scored his third double-double and fifth straight of the season after scoring 12 points and 11 rebounds against New York. The active WNBA MVP scored 15 points and 9 rebounds in the last game against Atlanta.
Jones averages the total leading team in Connecticut points (14.9), rebounds (9.5) and blocks (1.1).
Like the sun, dreams weren't enough in recent games against freedom.
Asia Durr, who scored 21 points against Connecticut, recorded a 23-point career from the bench at 89-77 in Atlanta, returning to New York on Friday.
Durr has been paying dividends since it was acquired from Liberty on June 8 for the conscription rights of Megan Walker and Raquel Carrera.
Rookie Line Howard added 19 points to the dream on Friday and suffered his fifth defeat in the last six games.
Howard was the first overall pick in the 2022 WNBA draft, averaging the team's highest 16.4 points in Atlanta.
Maya Caldwell has scored only 5 points in 16 minutes in his second match on Friday since signing with Dream. She scored 18 points with a 7-11 shot from her floor on her Tuesday debut.
"The idea is just to play, go out, play, do what I have to do. Play my part and don't worry about the following," Caldwell said. Said. "Just stay present."
