Even after finishing a five-game homestand undefeated, with a playoff berth and first place in the league standings secured, the Connecticut Sun still aren’t satisfied. Head coach Curt Miller said they all know they can be better, in their execution and their physicality, and the focus is on continuing to improve. 

“They want to be better and it’s so great to have pure accountability in that locker room. That leadership, there’s an expectation to be better and it’s going to get harder,” Miller said after the Sun’s 76-61 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday.  “We go on the road for four games and we know what the playoffs are going to be like, so I love the mentality. It doesn’t matter that they won tonight. They want to be better because they have some dreams and goals for this franchise for the first time.”
