Connecticut held New York to just 54 points, the fewest by a WNBA team this season. The Mystics had the previous season low, having scored 56 points in a loss to the Sky in May.

With Sunday’s win, the Sun improve to 14-6 on the season. The Liberty fall below .500 (10-11) heading into the Olympic break.

Next up: Connecticut will take on the Storm in the inaugural Commissioner’s Cup before meeting the Wings in a return to regular season play on Aug. 15. The Liberty will travel to Minnesota to face the Lynx on Aug. 15.
