A win for Minnesota would mean a place in the WNBA finals for the first time since 2017.

For the Sun, who are down 2-1 in the series after a 90-81 loss on Friday night, a win on Tuesday night in Minnesota would force a deciding game in the best-of-five series.

One of the key factors for the Sun will be stopping Napheesa Collier, who scored 26 points in the Game 3 win after shooting 3-for-14 and scoring just nine points in Game 2.

While Connecticut went on a run late Friday, Collier also made three straight plays to change the momentum and secure the win.

Minnesota led 81-73 with 3:03 remaining when she scored, then got a deflection on the other side and capped the game with a 3-pointer from Alanna Smith, making it a 13-point game.

“It’s crisis time, I knew I had to be aggressive, especially in individual reporting,” Collier told The Associated Press. “Then, you know, since we were equal on the other side, we had to be really aggressive. In the end they played with desperation.”

Collier had 16 points in the first half Friday night and was aggressive from the start. Minnesota led by seven points after one quarter and 48-36 at halftime thanks to Collier, who made seven of her 10 shots in the first 20 minutes.

Brionna Jones, who had just eight points in the first two games combined, led Connecticut with 21.

DeWanna Bonner scored 16 points for the Sun in the third quarter and moved into second place on the WNBA career postseason scoring list. She overtook Candace Parker, who reached 1,149 in her illustrious career. Bonner now has 1,159 points and is ahead of Parker with a free throw with 1:36 left in the quarter. Phoenix’s Diana Taurasi is in the lead with 1,455.

All five Sun starters scored in double figures – Thomas finished with 13 – but the bench contributed little. The Sun reserves were outscored 16-4 by their Minnesota counterparts.
