Overview

  • Connecticut secured a season-best third straight win as Tina Charles had 23 points and 10 rebounds to record her 200th career double-double, with Bria Hartley adding 23 and Marina Mabrey 20.
  • Chicago fell to 9-27 and is out of playoff contention after a late rally cut a 21-point deficit to four before the Sun closed it out.
  • Angel Reese finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds for her 19th double-double of the season and the 45th of her career, tying Charles for the most across a player’s first two WNBA seasons.
  • Sky head coach Tyler Marsh was ejected early in the second quarter after confronting an official, with players including Reese stepping in to restrain him; he later criticized perceived lack of officiating accountability.
  • A third-quarter play left Sun guard Leila Lacan with a right-eye injury in contact with Reese, with video and reporting disputing that it was deliberate; Chicago’s 17 turnovers led to 26 Connecticut points and proved decisive.
