The Connecticut Sun were the big winners of the WNBA’s opening weekend. Though they didn’t look so great in their season-opening win over a team we assume will be toward the bottom of the league again in the Indiana Fever on Friday, they came home on Sunday and won by six over a Washington Mystics team that defeated the super New York Liberty by 16.
Alyssa Thomas is off to a phenomenal start for the Sun. She had six assists and three steals in both games and averaged 16 points and a league-high 13.5 rebounds. DeWanna Bonner has been great too, seemingly intent on proving Swish Appeal’s Top 30 list, which placed her at No. 30, wrong. She is averaging 20 points per game to lead Connecticut. Brionna Jones rounds out the team’s key contributors thus far with 14 points, 9.5 rebounds and two steals per game.
Nothing better than watching a young fan fall in love with the game. Ozzie’s first Sun experience was one to remember

The league-favorite Las Vegas Aces also impressed, though they only played one contest and it was against a weak opponent. They defeated the Seattle Storm 105-64 on Saturday. No WNBA team had ever won by that much in a season…
 made history with their win over the weekend.){kind=link}
