The Connecticut Sun continue their dominant start to the WNBA season, achieving an 8-0 record after a victory over the Atlanta Dream. DeWanna Bonner's double-double performance was a key factor in the win. The Sun, ranked #1 in Net Rating and #4 in Offensive Rating, while shooting 27.9% from 3, are set to face the winless Washington Mystics tonight, aiming to improve to 9-0. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty secured a win over the Indiana Fever with significant contributions from four starters: Laney-Hamilton (20 PTS, 5 AST), Jones (18 PTS, 13 REB, 4 AST), Ionescu (16 PTS, 6 REB, 6 AST), and Stewart (13 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST). The Liberty, with a 5-1 record in the Eastern Conference, are preparing to face the Chicago Sky, who previously defeated them this season.
