The Connecticut Sun took their fourth straight loss of the season on Sunday, May 25, against the Atlanta Dream. In the first half, the Sun stayed in the game, with the help of players such as Marina Mabrey and Tina Charles, and their defense stepped up as well.

It was the second half that doomed the Sun, as they couldn't get anything going on the offensive end. They ended up losing the game 79-55 as they try to find their first win of the season.

Mabrey led the way with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Tina Charles and Olivia Nelson-Ododa both finished with 11 points each.

After the game, head coach Rachid Meziane sent a blunt message regarding the team's current losing streak.

"To be honest, it's very hard to say something positive on this game, except maybe our beginning," Meziane said after Sunday's game.

"We knew that against this team we have to play fast. But yeah, all of our game, all of our focus, all of our toughness disappeared after the three or the four first minutes of the game. So yeah, it's very hard to say something positive today. I used to say something positive to my team. But right now, it's very hard to extract something positive...Maybe we approached this game too easy."

There haven't been many great things that the Sun have done to start the season, but this is a new roster that is trying to learn to play together.

As the season continues, the hope is that they find chemistry with each other and start to stack some wins.
