Connecticut is the top defensive team in the WNBA. This is a marquee Eastern Conference matchup between the two teams with the best records in the WNBA.

I get all that. But the total still is too low given all the superstars participating in this matchup, the last WNBA game these teams will play in a month as the league won't resume until mid-August because of the Olympics. I expect these offenses to go out with a bang not a whimper heading into the long pause.

New York is the No. 2 scoring team in the WNBA at 86 points per game. The Liberty also rank No. 1 in field goal percentage. The Liberty is averaging 90.5 points in their last nine home games.

Connecticut hasn't gone up against this high of a scoring offense on the road since June 21 when it played Las Vegas. The Aces scored 85 points on the Sun.

All of the Sun's starters average in double figures. Connecticut just put up 96 points against Phoenix in its last game this past Sunday. Reserve Rachel Banham scored 24 points for the Sun in that game making eight 3-pointers. Banham scoring off the bench is an added bonus for the Sun, which averages 80 points a game.
