The Sky solely had a one-point lead with 1:03 left. Carter pressured a leap ball and Dream head coach Tanisha Wright was referred to as for a technical foul on the subsequent play. Sky star Dana Evans missed her first free throw of the season so as to add extra intrigue to the top of the sport.
Chicago went up 72-69 after Carter’s jumper after which she discovered Reese for a wide-open lay-up so as to add to the lead with 25.8 seconds left. Evans then stole the inbound go and was fouled with 20.6 left and sunk two free throws. Marina Mabrey triggered a turnover on the opposite finish and handed the ball to Reese, who solidified her double-double within the closing moments.
Cardoso added 11 rebounds for a double-double as nicely.
