Sky overcome Tina Charles’ record-setting night in win over Sun

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Angel Reese posted a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds and Kamilla Cardoso scored 16 points to boost the host Chicago Sky to an 88-64 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.

Kia Nurse had 12 points and Rachel Banham and Elizabeth Williams chipped in 10 apiece for the Sky, who stopped a four-game losing streak. Chicago (10-30) became the 12th of 13 WNBA teams to reach double-digit victories this season. Only the Dallas Wings have fewer wins, with nine.

Tina Charles had 19 points for the Sun to lead all scorers.

Charles shot 8-for-13. Her third basket of the game vaulted her past Diana Taurasi and into sole possession of the most field goals in league history. She now has 3,347.

Connecticut (10-31) trailed by as many as 24 points. The Sun tried to make a run late in the third quarter and capitalize on a Chicago offensive lull, but Nurse drilled consecutive treys in a 32-second span to help the Sky pull away.

Saniya Rivers scored 16 points for Connecticut and Aaliyah Edwards grabbed eight boards.

Sun second-leading scorer Marina Mabrey, who entered play averaging 14.5 points a game, went scoreless on 0-for-8 shooting, including 0-for-4 from long range. Mabrey dished a game-high six assists.

Fellow starter Aneesah Morrow had just two points before sustaining a chest injury when she collided with Nurse in the first quarter and didn’t return.

Connecticut struggled to 25 percent shooting (4-for-16) in the first quarter while the Sky shot 62.5 percent (10-for-16). The early success from the floor carried Chicago to a 28-10 lead after 10 minutes.

A Williams jumper stretched the Sky advantage to 21 points with 4:17 remaining before halftime, but the Sun chipped away and Chicago took a 42-27 advantage into the break.

Charles led all scorers with 13 first-half points while Cardoso (12) and Reese (nine) paced the Sky.

The Sky earned a split of the four-game season series with the Sun. Connecticut earned a 94-84 victory in Chicago on Aug. 23.

Reese posted her sixth straight double-double and 23rd this season. However, she was assessed her eighth technical foul of the campaign, making her ineligible for Friday’s game at Indiana.

Olivia Nelson-Ododa (back) missed her third straight game for the Sun.
