The Connecticut Sun stunned the Seattle Storm 93-83 on Wednesday in Uncasville, snapping a 10-game losing streak and earning just their third win of the season. Veteran center Tina Charles powered the victory with a season-high 29 points and 11 rebounds, matching Alyssa Thomas for the most double-doubles (82) in franchise history. Connecticut erased an eight-point deficit entering the fourth quarter and seized its first lead on a Charles jumper with 5:36 remaining, then strung together an 11-0 run to put the game away. The Sun had opened the afternoon as 17-point betting underdogs. Rookie guard Jacy Sheldon added 16 points, Bria Hartley scored 15, and Saniya Rivers contributed all 11 of her points in a decisive third-quarter burst. Seattle was led by Skylar Diggins with 23 points and seven assists, while Gabby Williams had 21 and Nneka Ogwumike finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds. The win lifts Connecticut to 3-16; Seattle drops to 13-7. The clubs will meet again Friday at Climate Pledge Arena as the Storm begin a four-game homestand.
