It's amazing how one game can be so different than the next.
Last Saturday night, the Indiana Fever's Tammy Sutton-Brown struggled mightily with her offensive game and couldn't seem to do anything right.
That changed on Thursday night against Connecticut.
Sutton-Brown paced the hot Fever with 14 points and 14 rebounds as Indiana raced to its franchise-record seventh consecutive win, 67-53 over the Sun.
"We're really excited about how well Tammy played," Fever coach Lin Dunn said after the game at Conseco Fieldhouse. "We concentrated on isolating Tammy all night. We're just very pleased with how hard our team plays."
Indiana (7-2) held the Sun (4-4) to 31.7 percent shooting from the field (19-of-60) and held them scoreless for the first four minutes, 37 seconds of the second half. The Fever went on an 11-0 run during that time to push its seven point halftime lead to 18.
"We needed to revert back to defense," Sutton-Brown said. "Lin (Dunn) always always wants us to take them out of their comfort zone, make them do something they are uncomfortable with."
Katie Douglas added 14 points for the Fever, which converted 41.8 percent of its field goal attempts. Tamika Catchings and Ebony Hoffman added 10 points apiece and Tully Bevilaqua contributed eight.
