As the Sky head to Connecticut to face the Sun in Game 3 of the semifinals Sunday, veteran leader Candace Parker doesn’t want the team to get comfortable until the postseason is over — with another title in the trophy cabinet.
After all, the team won its first championship after finishing the 2021 regular season at 16-16 and fighting out of two single-elimination games to blaze their way to the WNBA Finals.
“We’ve always had a fight-back mentality,” coach James Wade said Wednesday. “That starts with our leadership with Candace and Sloot and Kahleah and Allie . They’re very into detail-oriented stuff and they’re very into being on the same page and the connectivity that it takes to actually build championship culture. They’re all bought in. … It’s special for me.”
The Sky’s adjustments in Game 2 were an immediate balm, attacking the Sun’s size advantage through speed and transition play. To maintain their success, the Sky can’t allow the Sun to gain their footing — especially in the first quarter.“It’s one of our keys to start games, to play the whole 40 minutes,” forward Emma Meesseman said Wednesday. “That makes it easier for us, especially in defense if you’re very aggressive it tends to get us going better — and offensively as well.
