UNCASVILLE, Connecticut (AP) - Tina Charles had 19 points and eight rebounds and Kara Lawson added 17 points as the Connecticut Sun beat the Tulsa Shock 90-79 in the WNBA on Sunday.
Lawson made all six of her free throws in the final 73 seconds for the Sun.
Ivory Latta had 26 points for the Shock, who have lost all four games this season by at least 10 points.
Latta, who was 11 for 14 from the field, made her second straight 3-pointer of the fourth quarter to bring the Shock within six at 79-73. But the Sun scored the next four points on baskets by Jones and Kalana Greene and didn't let the Shock get closer than eight the rest of the way.
Asjha Jones had 16 points for Connecticut.
