Aneesah Morrow explodes for 17 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Connecticut Sun to a gritty 84-81 win over the Los Angeles Sparks — their first victory in three games and a statement of defensive grit, highlighted by 11 steals. With her fourth straight double-double, Morrow now leads the WNBA with seven this season. Rookie Leila Lacan and Diamond Miller each added 12 points. For the Sparks, Ariel Atkins and Rae Burrell poured in 16 apiece, while Nneka Ogwumike reached 3,315 career rebounds — tying Tamika Catchings for fifth all-time. Brittney Griner returned after a rib injury but exited early due to an eye poke, scoring 9 points. Kelsey Plum missed her second straight game with an ankle injury. Both teams face tough tests next: Sparks host Las Vegas, Sun travel to Atlanta — watch for how these injuries and momentum shift the season’s trajectory.
