Streaking teams are set to collide, as WNBA action resumes following the All-Star break.
The Connecticut Sun will host the Chicago Sky on Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena in a game which pits two of the league’s hottest teams against one another. The Sun and Sky both are riding four-game winning streaks, and one of those runs ultimately will continue at the expense of the other.
The Sky vs. Sun game might be an offensive showcase, as the teams own the second- and fourth-highest points-per-game averages in the WNBA at 79.8 points and 78.3, respectively.
