The Connecticut Sun want to take some momentum into this weekend's WNBA All-Star break.

The Phoenix Mercury should be looking to get back at the last team to beat them.

Connecticut plays at the Mercury tonight at US Airways Center (10, CPTV Sports).

Phoenix (17-3) has won 11 straight, leads the Western Division and sports the WNBA's best record. The Sun were the last team to beat the Mercury, 96-95, on June 12.

The Mercury will host the All-Star Game on Saturday and have one of the league's most stacked rosters. Diana Taurasi (18 ppg, 5.9 apg), Brittney Griner (15.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg), and Candice Dupree (15.4 ppg, 6.9 rpg) are among five players averaging in double figures.

The Sun (10-13) are coming off their biggest win of the season as they routed the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, 86-63. It was just their third road win as they have one of the worst WNBA's road-records (3-8). Six of their next eight games are away from home.
