Overview

  • Connecticut won 94-84 at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena on Aug. 23, handing the Sky their 27th loss of the season.
  • Angel Reese finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds for her 19th double-double of the year and 45th of her career, matching Tina Charles as the only players with 45 through their first two seasons.
  • Tina Charles had 23 points and 10 rebounds for her 200th career double-double, Bria Hartley scored 23, and Marina Mabrey added 20 as Connecticut held off a late Sky rally.
  • Kia Nurse scored 19 off the bench during Chicago’s fourth-quarter push after the Sun had led by as many as 21, with Aneesah Morrow’s late three stabilizing Connecticut’s lead.
  • At 9-27 and effectively out of the playoff picture, Chicago faces a likely roster shakeup signaled by Reese as multiple veterans hit free agency and Courtney Vandersloot remains out following ACL surgery.
