Down six points late in the fourth quarter with a trip to the WNBA Finals on the line, it was all hands on deck for Courtney Williams and the Connecticut Sun. First, the Sun guard puts her hustle hat on by earning a sprinting block of a Chicago Sky triple atop the key, then has the foresight to immediately race up the floor ahead of the counterattack. A helpful teammate corrals the rejection before firing a pinpoint pass to a gliding, one-step-ahead Williams, whose layup pulls the Sun within four. The thrilling sequence was part of a final frame that saw the Sun outscore Chicago 24-5, and Williams’ 12 points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal were instrumental in her squad prevailing 72-63 on September 8, 2022, clinching Connecticut’s first championship appearance since 2019.
