To beat the Chicago Sky in a five-game series, Miller believes you can’t be afraid to make a mess. "A lot of free-flowing offenses of the four teams left, and we know who we are," Miller said. "We’re blue-collar.
We’re going to be good around the basket, we’re going to rebound and we’re going to defend our tails off. But we have to make it messy." DeWanna Bonner had 15 points and nine rebounds to lead the Sun to a 68-63 victory over Sky in Game 1 of their WNBA semifinals series on Sunday night.
Jonquel Jones scored 12 points and also grabbed nine rebounds for the Sun, Alyssa Thomas had 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Brionna Jones added 12 points.
