Connecticut Sun rookie guard Saniya Rivers said that the Boston market would be an appealing spot for the WNBA franchise if they relocated.

Tina Charles added another double-double to her record and Leïla Lacan had a career-high 19 points off the bench in the Sun's loss to the Fever on Tuesday night.

Connecticut Sun guard Saniya Rivers spent almost her entire life in North Carolina before she was drafted into the WNBA, but the rookie truly became a New Englander on Monday when she tried her first lobster roll ahead of the Sun’s game against the Indiana Fever at TD Garden.

What's clear is that Providence would face stiff competition from Boston, where the Connecticut Sun already have an established audience.

In the moment, it appeared the fan touched Sun rookie Saniya Rivers. But after the game, Rivers said he did not touch her, but he said something that crossed a line for Rivers.

Clark had another poor shooting night in her fourth game back from injury. But she closed the fourth quarter strong to put the Sun away in a close game.
