History was abound as the Connecticut Sun completely flipped the script after a cross-country road trip and short turnaround.
Jonquel Jones got her way in the paint to score 20 points, but the tradeoff was four fouls, which limited her to 25 minutes. The Sun ended the game on a 19-0 run.
The Sun finally found their shots, and those shots were falling in the first half. The Sun set a Finals record by shooting 82.4% in the first quarter, which was also the highest-scoring first quarter in Finals history. Connecticut closed the first quarter on a 25-4 run. DeWanna Bonner, who had scored only five points in the first two games of the series combined, scored nine points in the first half of Game 3. She finished with 18. Her offense was sorely needed.
Bonner also switched up her defensive assignment, trying to slow down the Aces’ Chelsea Gray. It worked, as Gray found success largely when Bonner was on the bench. Gray reeled off three straight 3-pointers near the end of the first half and the Aces ended the second quarter on an 8-0 run capped by Kelsey Plum’s buzzer-beater.
