In the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, the Sun had to face the Indiana Fever . Since the Fever had the better record, the series would be played with game 1 at Connecticut, game 2 at Indiana, and game 3 (if needed) at Indiana. The Sun won the first game at home in triple-overtime, but the Fever went on to win games two and three and take the series.
For the fifth consecutive season, the Sun qualify for the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
For the first time in franchise history, the Sun lose in the first round of the playoffs and do not advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
