Connecticut at Phoenix

The Connecticut Sun need a big effort here for two reasons. For one, a huge confidence boost going on the road and beating what is currently the best team in the West, and also they stand a game behind Atlanta for a playoff spot. A loss could be lethal to their playoff hopes, so I certainly expect a strong effort here. Phoenix, at one time at 15-6, has gone the route of Indiana at just 3-3 over their last six. They were also at one time 9-1 at home, but have lapsed to a 1-3 mark since. This team is very vulnerable right now and Connecticut will come in here with a winning mentality because they know the consequence of a loss could kill their playoff hopes. I like Connecticut in this one.
