CT Sun Vs. Dream Preview: Connecticut Looking For Seventh Straight Win

The Sun just cannot stop winning.

Connecticut has won each of its last six games, and is trying to stretch its run to seven when it hosts the Atlanta Dream on Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena.

With their strong start, the Sun have built a little bit of a cushion in the Eastern Conference standings, leading by two games over the Chicago Sky. A win against a lowly Dream side will help them create a little bit more much-needed separation.
