Scouting report

The Sun finished 21–13, 4th in the league standings, with a +5.3 net rating that ranked 3rd of 12. They were strong at both ends — 3rd in offensive rating, 4th in defensive rating. They played fast, too — 1st in pace. They stood out for ball security (15.3 turnovers a game, fewest), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring was spread around — Jonquel Jones led at 15.4 a game, but no one accounted for more than 18% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Alyssa Thomas as the one they can least afford to lose — +19.6 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 6-game winning streak (Jul 25–Aug 15) and a 33-point rout of the Dream on Jun 10. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (May 13–May 26) and a 20-point loss at the Mercury on Sep 1. They went 7–9 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
