Chicago Skt Beat NY for 7th Straight

The Chicago Sky continue to roll, winning back-to-back away games against the New York Liberty. Their seventh straight win bumps their record to 9-7 on the season.

Candace Parker had a double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Kahleah Copper and Diamond DeShields had 18 points each to lead the Sky. Courtney Vandersloot added 13 points and nine assists to fall just one assist short of a double-double.

The Sky was up 18-14 after one quarter, but it was their 37-13 second quarter which effectively put away the game. The Sky cruised to a 23 point win.

New York shot just 16% (4/25) on three-point attempts after shooting 21% (6/28) in Tuesday's loss to the Sky. The Liberty went into the game leading the WNBA in total three-pointers made (148) and made three-pointers per game (10.6).

The Sky shot 50% from the field (37/74). They had runs of 11-2 and 13-0.

The Sky return to action on Sunday, when they travel to Connecticut to face the Sun, who are having their own issues in the absence of Jonquel Jones. A Chicago win will put them just percentage pints behind the first place Sun.
