After a slow start to the third quarter, when the Wings had more misses and turnovers than points, they followed a timeout with a 20-2 run to close the quarter and turn a nine-point lead into a 72-45 lead. 
The Sun went 3 of 15 from the field and scored just eight points. 
Azzi Fudd added 12 points for the Wings (19-11), who ended a two-game skid.
