Connecticut has dropped two straight, while Chicago has lost four in a row and nine of its last ten.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Chicago\u2019s struggles, <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/angel-reese\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Angel Reese<\/a> continues to shine. She\u2019s nearly automatic for a double-double, dominating the glass and providing consistent scoring. But the Sky lack depth, ranking among the lowest-scoring teams in the league. One player does not make a team.<\/p>\n<p>The Sun, meanwhile, have made the most of games against weaker opponents, winning four of their last seven \u2014 all against teams in the league\u2019s bottom tier, including Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Connecticut relies on the veteran presence of <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/tina-charles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tina Charles<\/a>, still steady near the end of her career, along with rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/leila-lacan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leila Lacan<\/a>, who has posted back-to-back 22-point performances during this recent stretch.
