At 5:00pm ET, my WNBA Playoff Payoff is on Connecticut. This series is going the distance. After Connecticut took Game 1, Minnesota earned the split with a Game 2 win. In Game 3, the Lynx reclaimed homecourt advantage with a wire-to-wire victory. Now, the Sun will respond with their biggest and best effort. This series was never going to be easy for either team. Both are tenacious on defense, the top 2 defensive teams in the league. They faced each other in the playoffs last year, the Sun winning. Connecticut will make adjustments and will be much better defensively. Three times in the regular season, the Sun lost 2 games in a row. They responded with a victory the next game every time. They will do so again today.
