DeWanna Bonner’s big night has Sun tied for WNBA’s best record

The Connecticut Sun are rolling into the second half of the WNBA season on a high note.

While Jonquel Jones continues to make her case for league MVP, DeWanna Bonner has also been having a season of her own.

That includes last night’s game, in which Bonner dropped a double-double to lead the Sun past the Minnesota Lynx 82-71.
