Connecticut Sun 2021 season: 26–6, scoring 79.7 points per game and allowing 69.9 (+9.8 average margin) across 32 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sun finished 26–6, 1st in the league standings, with a +12.4 net rating that ranked 1st of 12. They were strong at both ends — 3rd in offensive rating, 1st in defensive rating. They ground games down, slowest pace in the league. Their calling cards were the offensive glass (12.7 a game, 1st) and outshooting opponents (49.7% eFG vs. 45.9% allowed); the soft spot, turnovers (19.8 a game, 2nd-most in the league). Jonquel Jones (19.4 ppg) and DeWanna Bonner (15.2) carried the scoring load between them, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +21.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 14-game winning streak (Jul 9–Sep 19) and a 29-point rout of the Liberty on Sep 15. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jun 13–Jun 19) and a 23-point loss to the Storm on Jun 13. They went 9–5 against teams at .500 or better, and finished hot, 10–0 over the last 10. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and its turnover problem was the one thing that could trip them up.
