August 24th, the WNBA regular season continued with Connecticut Sun defeating Chicago Sky 82-80 at home, securing their second consecutive win.
In this game, the Sun took the initiative in the first half, outscoring the Sky by 10 points in the second quarter. Unfortunately, they lost their touch in the second half and were overtaken by the Sky. However, they recovered their form in the final quarter and, through solid defense, thwarted multiple Sky attacks in the closing moments, securing victory with Thomas’s free throws for a clutch kill.
The two teams had recently completed a major trade, with Ma Buli transferring from the Sky to the Sun. In this match, Ma Buli came off the bench, playing for 25 minutes, making 9 of 13 shots including 5 of 7 three-pointers, scoring the highest of 24 points, along with 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Upon entering the game, Ma Buli displayed excellent form, continuously scoring inside and outside, showing no mercy against her former team, and also wanting to prove herself.
In the final play for the winning shot, Ma Buli also got possession of the ball, but instead of forcing a solo move, she passed to Thomas who was cutting open, and the latter drew a foul and made both free throws to secure the victory for the team.
