NEW YORK -- The Connecticut Suns playoff chances are setting.With just four games left, they sit in 10th place after an 89-82 loss to the New York Liberty on Friday night.We might need a little divine intervention, said Chiney Ogwumike, who scored 20 points for the Sun. We have to take care of business, handle business win games. This was a huge game for us, but we played hard.The Sun (11-19) are two games behind Phoenix for the final playoff spot and will need a lot of help even if they do win their final few games to avoid missing the postseason for a fourth straight year. To make matters worse, they traded their first round pick in the 2017 draft to Los Angeles to acquire Jonquel Jones before this season started.While Connecticut is on the outside lking in, New York has already clinched the No. 3 seed. The Liberty (21-10) hope to use the final few games to get healthy. They were down to eight healthy players against Connecticut with Shoni Schimmel (concussion), Tanisha Wright (knee), Kiah Stokes (hip) and Shavonte Zellous (back) all sidelined.Thats the most important thing to get healthy, said Tina Charles, who led the team with 23 points and 10 rebounds.The Liberty rebounded from a disappointing loss to Seattle on Wednesday when they were blown out at home.We need to find a level where were consistent, Charles said. We have to know how to get ourselves out of situations when things arent going our way.The Sun didnt go down without a fight. Every time that it seemed New York was in control, Connecticut would battle back. The Liberty led by six at the half, and opened up a double-digit advantage early in the fourth before the Sun got within 78-76 with 49 left.New York scored the next seven points, capped by a 3-pointer by Epiphanny Prince to finally put the game away.Courtney Williams scored a career-high 20 points.Charles, who played four years in Connecticut before being traded to New York before the 2014 season, has excelled against her former team. She matched her career-high 32 points earlier this season. She was well on her way to that mark again with 17 in the first half on Friday.After one basket where she also drew a foul, the Madison Square Garden fans, which included U.S. track star Tori Bowie, started chanting MVP. Charles dad led the cheers while holding up a sign with his daughters No. 31 on it.Im not all about that. Im not about all that flashy stuff, thats for his enjoyment, Charles said. I love that hes very supportive. He didnt do it any other season. He only did it in 2012 (when Charles won MVP). It just shows he knows my game and knows when Im playing at a certain level and thats the level of respect I have for my father. Thats one of the reason I wanted to play here.

Robinson was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and illegal possession of a stolen firearm, and Jones was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance. However, the district attorney declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.Saban emphasized that the decision to not press charges was out of my hands and that the facts of the case as they have been advertised are different than what weve been told.An Alabama official told ESPN that Robinson and Jones were required to take weekly drug tests, undergo routine drug counseling, receive gun education from Tuscalsa Police, do 26 hours of ride-alongs with police, volunteer with the Police Athletic League and submit to outpatient drug treatment.You have to lk at the whole picture, Saban said. Based on the information we got and what they did, thats what were going to do. Thats my decision. Im also basing this decision based on the type of people these guys have been in our program and what theyve done to change their behavior relative to our program.Saban was involved in a testy exchange with the SEC Networks Paul Finebaum after he was asked why he didnt suspend Robinson.Because Im nnot going to convict him in public, Saban said.dddddddddddd. I was going to get criticized by you and the public and the media because Im not going to suspend him and I dont really care about that. Thats the end of the conversation.Robinson tweeted reaction Wednesday afternn, which he later deleted.According to the police report of their arrest, an officer smelled marijuana after approaching the players vehicle at a closed park. The report alleges that a bag of marijuana and a handgun were in plain sight, and a stolen handgun was found under the passenger seat.Robinson was allegedly driving the vehicle with Jones as his passenger. The stolen-firearms charge Robinson faced was a felony, while the other charges both he and Jones faced were misdemeanors.I want to emphasize once again that the main reason Im doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years working and sweating while we were all in the air conditioning, district attorney Jerry Jones told KNOE-TV of his decision not to prosecute.Robinson is an All-SEC left tackle entering his junior season. The 6-ft-6, 325-pound junior started every game since his freshman year in 2014. ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. has him as the No. 7 player on his early 2017 Big Board.Jones, a reserve in his first two years at Alabama, was widely regarded as one of the top safety prospects coming out of high schl.
