Connecticut SunvsChicago Sky
CON 80/CHI 85
Things to say
Chicago Sky beat the Connecticut Sun 85-80 at Wintrust Arena.
01
Sky took care of business at home, 85-80 over Connecticut. Felt closer than it should've been honestly. Sun hung around but Chicago had answers down the stretch.
02
key player
Skylar Diggins was cooking — 24 points and looked like the best player on the floor all night.
03
hot take
Connecticut is 2-10 and it's not getting better. That roster just can't buy a bucket when it matters.
04
deep cut
Aneesah Morrow pulled down 17 boards for the Sun and nobody's talking about it. Rookie was a problem in the paint.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Chicago can stack one — they've been up and down all year.
The recap
Sky took care of business at home, 85-80 over the Sun, and Skylar Diggins was the engine all night with 24 buckets. Azura Stevens was a problem in the paint too, ripping down 10 boards to set the tone.
Connecticut got 17 rebounds from Aneesah Morrow and a steady 16 from Griner, but nobody else showed up to help and they took the L. Chicago wasn't flashy, just kept getting stops down the stretch and Diggins iced it.
