The Connecticut Sun will learn whether the sky is the limit to the their revival.
The Sun will face the Chicago Sky on Friday in Bradenton, Fla., at IMG Academy in a WNBA regular-season game. Connecticut has won three out of its last four games, most recently Wednesday’s victory over the Dallas Wings. The Sun now look to extend their winning streak to a season-high three games, and doing so might lift them into third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
However, the Sky will pose a stiff test as they boast the best record in the Eastern Conference and have joined the ranks of potential WNBA Finals contenders.
Here’s how to watch Sky-Sun on Friday:
