San Antonio — Kelsey Bone scored 17 points and made a go-ahead layup with 1.8 seconds left to give the Connecticut Sun a 73-72 win over San Antonio on Friday night to extend the Stars' losing streak to eight games.

Connecticut grabbed Sophia Young-Malcolm's air ball with 14 second left, dribbled to midcourt and called a timeout to set up a final play. Bone got the ball near the free throw line and beat her defender down the lane for a layup. Kayla McBride missed a 3-pointer from the corner at the buzzer.

Chelsea Gray added 14 points for Connecticut (14-18), which has now won its most games since 2012, and Jasmine Thomas had 10 points with eight assists.

McBride led San Antonio (7-24) with 17 points and Danielle Adams added 12.

"It was a play that Anne (Donovan, head coach) had called early in the game that I kind of messed up a little bit on," Bone said of the game-winner. "We ran it again, and she told me 'score a bucket or get to the free throw line.' So I saw the defense bite a little bit on the handoff from the guard and I just saw a passage and I went."

It was Young-Malcolm's first home game since announcing that she will retire after the season. She has played her entire 10-year WNBA career in San Antonio and holds the franchise's scoring record.

Earlier in the game, Bone scored the 1,000th point of her career on a layup assisted by Thomas. Kelly Faris added a season-high six rebounds for the Sun, who next play the New York Liberty on Wednesday in New York.

"I thought (Kayla) McBride on the very last possession had a good look at 1.8 (seconds)," Donovan said. "I had a flashback; we lost to Phoenix at the buzzer on a shot like that. So fortunately it didn't go. We got stops down the stretch when we had to, and we made big plays."
