The Connecticut Sun dominated the Indiana Fever in their WNBA playoff opener, thanks to stifling defense led by Alyssa Bonner.
The Connecticut Sun defeated the Indiana Fever 93-69 in their first playoff matchup since 2016. The Sun's stifling defense, anchored by veteran Alyssa Bonner , proved to be too much for the Fever. Bonner effectively guarded Indiana's leading scorer, NaLyssa Smith, throughout the game, impacting her shot selection and overall performance. Connecticut employed a variety of defensive strategies, switching defenders and using different looks, which contributed to Clark's shooting struggles.
While Bonner played a significant role, the Sun's team defense was ultimately responsible for limiting Indiana's offensive output
