Connecticut Sun 92 – 63 Chicago Sky | WNBA Regular Season | June 23, 2026

Match Overview

The Connecticut Sun delivered a commanding performance at Mohegan Sun Arena on June 23, 2026, dismantling the Chicago Sky 92-63 in a lopsided WNBA contest. The Sun’s balanced attack and suffocating defense never allowed the Sky to find any rhythm, as Connecticut improved their playoff positioning with one of their most complete wins of the season.

First-Half Domination

Connecticut set the tone early, jumping out to a 27-14 lead after the first quarter. The Sun’s backcourt trio of guards and wings consistently broke down Chicago’s perimeter defense, while the frontcourt controlled the glass. By halftime, the lead had ballooned to 52-33, leaving the Sky with a steep uphill climb.

Key Moments

• Brionna Jones’ interior presence – The All-Star center recorded 18 points and 11 rebounds, anchoring both ends of the floor.
• Dewanna Bonner’s all-around game – Bonner added 16 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, showcasing her veteran savvy.
• Chicago’s cold shooting – The Sky shot just 35% from the field and 5-of-19 from three-point range, unable to create consistent offense against Connecticut’s switching defense.

Standout Performers

For the Sun, Alyssa Thomas flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. Rookie guard Jacy Sheldon contributed 14 points off the bench, including three timely three-pointers. For Chicago, Marina Mabrey led the visitors with 19 points, but received little support as no other Sky player scored more than 10.

Implications for the Standings

The victory moved Connecticut into sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference standings, tightening the race behind the front-running New York Liberty. The loss dropped Chicago to 13-12, leaving them in a tie with the Atlanta Dream for the final playoff spot. The Sky will need to address their vulnerability on the road, where they have now dropped four of their last five away games.
