The Sun trailed by 11 twice in the first quarter before rattling off eight unanswered points, including three free-throw makes from Natisha Hiedeman after she was fouled right before the buzzer, to close within three. DeWanna Bonner’s layup gave the Sun their first lead of the night at 36-34 with 3:10 left in the half, and they went up by five following Jasmine Thomas’ steal and score shortly after. But Diamond DeShields’ personal 7-0 run, including a 3 with 1.3 seconds on the clock, gave the Sky a 47-46 edge at the break.
