Going to work in Connecticut 🚨 At the half, the @ConnecticutSun lead the @DallasWings, 43-35! Paige Bueckers: 12 PTS |

What happened: The Connecticut Sun lead the Dallas Wings 43-35 at halftime. Leïla Lacan and Paige Bueckers pace the scoring with 12 points apiece, while Maddy Siegrist and Kennedy Burke have chipped in seven each. The second half is set to continue on Prime Video.

Why it matters: Connecticut, sitting at 5-16 on the season, would take a meaningful step by holding off a Dallas side that entered at 13-8. The Wings have dropped their last two games, and an early hole against a rebuilding opponent adds pressure as they try to steady their form.

By the numbers: Season entering tonight: Dallas Wings 13-8 (89.3 PPG, 85.3 allowed), Connecticut Sun 5-16 (78.9 PPG, 85.9 allowed). Halftime leaders: Lacan 12 PTS, 2 3PM, 2 AST, 2 STL; Bueckers 12 PTS, 4 AST, 3 REB, 2 3PM; Siegrist 7 PTS, 3 REB; Burke 7 PTS.

What to watch: Watch whether Connecticut can protect the lead in the second half, and whether Dallas leans on Bueckers to erase the deficit and avoid a third straight loss.
