UNCASVILLE, Conn. — After the Connecticut Sun’s Game 3 semifinal loss to the Minnesota Lynx, Sun coach Stephanie White said her staff didn’t do a good enough job of getting players prepared. She said the Sun were outplayed, out-executed and, most of all, out-coached.

Behind a combined 36 points from Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner, the Connecticut Sun forced Game 5 in the WNBA semifinals with a 92-82 win over the Minnesota Lynx.

Game 5 will be Tuesday night in Minnesota. The winner will face the Liberty in the WNBA Finals that start Thursday in New York.
