Connecticut Sun @ Dallas Wings
Shekinna Stricklen sinks WNBA-record-tying 8 3-pointers as Sun beat Wings
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Shekinna Stricklen scored a season-high 24 points and tied a WNBA record with eight 3-pointers to help the Connecticut Sun beat the Dallas Wings 92-75 on Sunday.
Stricklen finished 8-of-11 from 3-point range and matched the mark set by Diana Taurasi, who has made eight 3-pointers three times, and Riquna Williams, who has done it once.
Courtney Williams and Jonquel Jones added 15 points each for the Sun (13-12).
The Wings (14-11) closed a 16-point deficit to 78-71, but Jasmine Thomas' pull-up jumper with 3:19 left in the game stopped the Dallas rally and sparked a 14-2 run in which Connecticut pulled away for good.
Thomas had 11 points and Chiney Ogwumike added 10 for the Sun. Ogwumike was ejected for arguing a call with 5:53 left in the fourth quarter after she fouled out.
Liz Cambage had 25 points and 10 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season. Glory Johnson and Kayla Thornton had 11 points each.
