New York LibertyvsChicago Sky
NY 96/CHI 95
Things to say
New York Liberty edged the Chicago Sky 96-95 at Wintrust Arena.
01
opener
Liberty stole one in Chicago, 96-95. Came down to the last possession. Sky had every chance and let it slip.
02
key player
Sydney Taylor went off for 24 and basically kept the Sky in it by herself. Kid was getting buckets.
03
hot take
Liberty are 11-4 but they did not look like it tonight. They should not be squeaking by a 4-win team.
04
deep cut
Jonquel Jones quietly stuffed it, 19 and 8. And Skylar Diggins ran the show with 8 dimes for Chicago, just nobody else could finish.
05
exit
Sky keep playing tough though. Curious what they look like next time out.
The recap
Liberty squeaked out a 96-95 nailbiter in Chicago, and man, that one came down to the wire. Sydney Taylor went off for 24 and damn near stole it for the Sky, but Jonquel Jones quietly put up a 19 and 8 double-double to keep New York steady when it mattered.
Chicago had every chance to grab it at home and just couldn't get the dagger to fall. Liberty move to 11-4 while the Sky drop to 4-10 and took another tough L by a single bucket.
