The Connecticut Sun stunned the New York Liberty, holding the star-studded offense to just 63 points in a Game 1 semifinals win.
The Liberty were held to 63 points on 33.8% shooting, both season-lows, as head coach Sandy Brondello called her team's performance the worst of the season. Connecticut head coach Stephanie White, meanwhile, called the game"probably the most consistent 40 minutes that we've played all year."
"We'll be better next time. I'm 100% sure of that," Brondello said."That was their worst game of the season, but we've got great players and we will have to respond in the right way. It's a great challenge for us." Both franchises are looking for their first championship, with the Sun making their fifth consecutive semifinal appearance and the Liberty making their first semifinal since 2015.
