Added to Favorite


Rebecca Allen scored 27 points and Angel Reese notched a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds to help the host Chicago Sky defeat the Dallas Wings 87-76 on Wednesday.

Rachel Banham added 11 points for Chicago (6-13), which stopped a two-game losing streak while sending Dallas (6-15) to its second straight defeat.

Reese stretched her streak of double-doubles to seven games, but her WNBA-record run of games with at least 15 boards ended at six.

The Sky led by as many as 15 points in the second half en route to shooting 50.9 percent for the game compared to 36 percent for Dallas. The Wings drew to within six points down the stretch before Chicago pulled away.

Li Yueru had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Wings. All-Star guard Paige Bueckers followed with 17 points while JJ Quinerly chipped in 16.

Allen finished one point shy of her career high while finishing 9-for-13 from the floor, including a 5-for-7 effort from long range.

Allen paced Chicago to a 45-37 lead at the break, scoring 12 first-half points on 4-of-5 shooting. She drilled three long jumpers in the final 2:24 of the second quarter to help the Sky create distance from the Wings.

Bueckers led Dallas with eight first-half points.

With numerous injuries impacting the team, including those to mainstays Arike Ogunbowale (left thumb) and DiJonai Carrington (rib), Dallas started four rookies for the third successive game.

Back in the lineup for the first time since June 24, Sky center Kamilla Cardoso sparked the team off the bench from the outset. Cardoso, who helped Team Brazil to a silver medal at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile, scored six first-quarter points on 3-for-3 shooting as Chicago took a 19-18 lead after 10 minutes.

Haley Jones contributed four points in 15 minutes for the Wings in her first action in 10 days. Jones started the season with Phoenix and was released from a hardship contract on June 29. Per league rules, she couldn’t rejoin the Wings on a rest-of-season contract until Wednesday.

Chicago earned a three-game sweep of the season series against Dallas. The Sky took both games of a home-and-home on May 29 and 31, winning by five and 11 points, respectively.
