UNCASVILLE, Conn. — After the Connecticut Sun’s Game 3 semifinal loss to the Minnesota Lynx, Sun coach Stephanie White said her staff didn’t do a good enough job of getting players prepared. She said the Sun were outplayed, out-executed and, most of all, out-coached.

Napheesa Collier had 27 points and 11 rebounds while Courtney Williams contributed 24 points to lead Minnesota into the WNBA Finals for first time in seven years.
