Ragged start to Q4 for both teams. DT got a little breather but she's back in now. 76-73 Phoenix, 6:18 left.
 
tied at 78, media TO at 4:58

16 rebounds and counting for Bonner
 
January hit a 3

other end Williams hits a desperation heave behind the arc and got fouled

tied at 81 pending the FT
 
Williams tied w/ DT for scoring lead at 25

DT has been quiet since re-entering the game. She needs to take over.

Williams hit another jumper. 84-81 Sun.
 
Talbot hit a 3 to tie. Where is DT? Not like her to shy away from the spotlight.
 
Griner hits a turnaround jumper, 86-84. 2:45 left.

A. Thomas gets away with a chicken wing and scores in the paint. Then Bonner answers.
 
Phoenix up 6, all with Taurasi conspicuously missing from the offense. 92-86 w/ 1:11 left. Griner has had a huge second half and Bonner has been good as well.
 
Williams had a great game but missed her last several shots and her teammates aren't stepping up. D shooting FT to extend the lead.
 
.-.
Bonner w/ another rebounding and got fouled. 94-86 w/ 28 seconds left, shooting FT.
 
27 apiece for DT and Griner and 23 for Bonner. The Big 3 with another huge game. 18 rebounds for Bonner, 6 blocks for Griner, 5 assists for DT.
 
That was strange. DT was fantastic thru 3 quarters but just was not involved down the stretch. She would pass the ball early in the shot clock and never touch it again.

Williams got hot and gave Connecticut the lead in Q4, but Griner blocked her reverse layup and then the Sun turned the ball over on the next possession. I think that Phoenix scored on every possession over the last 3-4 minutes.

It's hard to beat the G.O.A.T., especially when she is motivated.

Wow!!! A Phoenix win over the Sun on the road. Didn't see that one coming. I thought the Sun could defend their home court. The Sun crashed and burned by 10 points. I didn't think Dee and Bonner would have back to back huge games.

Phoenix's next series against the Storm could be epic. That series may well be decided in 5 games. Another outstanding game from Dee and her posse. :cool:
