Thomas expressed confidence and readiness for the upcoming semifinals against Minnesota, indicating a hunger for success in the playoffs.
Despite a valiant effort from Caitlin Clark, who finished with 25 points and nine assists, the Fever couldn’t match the Sun’s determination. The game was marked by intense back-and-forth action, with the Sun ultimately pulling ahead in the final minutes thanks to key plays from DeWanna Bonner and Marina Mabrey.
The Sun’s victory was a team effort, with Aliyah Boston contributing 16 points and 19 rebounds.

Overall, the Sun’s triumph highlighted their resilience and readiness for the challenges ahead in the playoffs. Fans can anticipate an exciting showdown as they prepare to face Minnesota in the upcoming semifinal clash.
