Lexie Hull came off the bench to have her highest scoring mark this season, while Destanni Henderson went 3-of-4 from 3-point range to match her best shooting night from beyond the arc this season.

The Sun have only played three games so far this season and are 2-1 after winning at home against Los Angeles on Saturday and in New York on Tuesday.
