    Sun get back to work on Tuesday at Indiana

    Connecticut's WNBA playoff hopes remain on life support, but after ending a five-game losing streak with a comeback win over Chicago on Sunday night, the Sun will try to live for another day on Tuesday when they visit another Eastern Conference rival, the Indiana Fever (7 p.m., MyTV9).

    Connecticut (13-17) must win its final four games and then hope the Washington Mystics (16-12) lose their final six. The Mystics, who play at Phoenix on Wednesday, own the tiebreaker over the Sun by virtue of winning the season series 3-1.

    All Connecticut can control right now is Tuesday's game against the Fever, who have beaten the Sun in all three meetings this season, including an 83-70 setback the last time the two met on Aug. 2 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

    The injury-plagued Sun continue to ride the dominating inside work of 6-foot-4 center Kelsey Bone, who leads the team in scoring (14.7) and rebounds (6.3) and is coming off a 25-point effort in Sunday's 72-68 win over the Sky. Bone has scored in double figures in 23 of 30 games.

    All-star Tamika Catchings leads Indiana in scoring (13.6) and rebounding (7.2).
