  "account": "UNCASVILLE, Connecticut (AP) — The Connecticut Sun put on a memorable final game before relocating to Houston, defeating the Toronto Tempo with a score of 95-81 on Thursday night. The orange-clad fans, loyal to the franchise since its inception, gathered in large numbers to bid farewell to the Mohegan Sun Arena. Season ticket holders were honored, and longtime players like Nykesha Sales and Rebecca Lobo were recognized for their contributions. Aaliyah Edwards led the Sun with 14 points in the first half, helping them establish a 38-36 lead at halftime. The Sun took control in the third quarter, energizing the sellout crowd of 8,911, and secured their victory after a six-game losing streak.",
