Overview

  • Chicago fell to 0-4 after Tuesday’s 94-89 defeat, tying the franchise’s worst start as opponents have scored at least 91 points in four straight games.
  • Angel Reese recorded her third double-double of the season with 13 points and 15 rebounds and set the league record for fastest to 500 points and 500 rebounds in just 38 games.
  • Alyssa Thomas fueled Phoenix’s comeback by tallying 10 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds and sparking a 27-18 fourth-quarter run that erased Chicago’s lead.
  • Persistent turnover problems—nearly 57 giveaways in the first three games—combined with late-game defensive lapses under coach Tyler Marsh have undermined the Sky’s performance.
  • With point guard Moriah Jefferson sidelined by a leg injury, Chicago will aim for its first win when it hosts Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Thursday.
