A successful road trip has the Connecticut Sun excited as they look to maintain their success at home.

The Sun begin a four-game homestand when they complete their season series with the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.

Connecticut (13-7) won 96-95 in overtime at Phoenix on Sunday to cap a 2-1 trip against Western Conference foes. Renee Montgomery scored 28 points and Asjha Jones had 27 for the Sun, who are one game behind first-place Indiana in the East.

“It’s good just to have a win, period, on the road,” Montgomery said. “We’ve been struggling on the road and to come and get two of three on the West Coast is good for us.”

The Sun are tied with Seattle for the WNBA’s best home record at 8-1. They have split four meetings with Chicago (10-12) this year, winning 83-68 in the lone matchup at Mohegan Sun Arena on June 19.

The matchup at center between Chicago’s Sylvia Fowles and Connecticut’s Tina Charles should go a long way toward determining Tuesday’s winner. Fowles has outscored Charles in Chicago’s two wins over Connecticut while the Sun center has done the same to her counterpart in her team’s two victories.

Fowles is averaging 19.4 points and 9.5 rebounds - both third in the league - while Charles is fifth with 18.1 points and first with 10.9 boards.

Fowles has recorded double-doubles in all four games against Connecticut, averaging 21.0 points and 11.8 rebounds. Charles is averaging 20.5 points and 10.5 boards in the season series.

Charles had 23 points and 17 rebounds Sunday for her league-best 14th double-double - one more than Fowles. Charles’ 12-footer with 5 seconds left was the winning basket.

Fowles had 21 points and 12 boards in an 88-69 win over Indiana on Sunday. The Sky are tied with Atlanta for the fourth and final playoff spot in the East.

The Sky will be no match for the Sun and Connecticut continues their dominance on their home court.
