Marina Mabrey scored 15 points to help the Sun end New York's eight-game winning streak with a 72-64 victory over the Liberty on Saturday night. That win in addition to a loss by Indiana clinched a spot in the postseason for Connecticut.
NEW YORK -- — The Connecticut Sun capped off a busy week with a victory over New York and a spot in the playoffs.
“The playoffs is a whole different season and beast,” said DeWanna Bonner, who had 10 points and 12 rebounds for Connecticut. “We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I don’t think we’re focused on clinching, we’re taking it game by game.” “She’s a great player, a great shooter, spaces the floor out really well for them. You can’t help off of her,” New York guard Sabrina Ionescu said. “It provides a different layer for how you come out and defend them, because... of how much gravity she draws.”
Things got chippy in the last 30 seconds when DiJonai Carrington took exception to a foul by Jaylyn Sherrod. Carrington and Sherrod were called for double technical fouls on the play.
