The Chicago Sky are WNBA Finals bound!
They defeated the Connecticut Sun 79-69 in Game 4 of the semifinals Wednesday night, winning the series 3-1. After the series was tied 1-1 after Game 2, the Sky won two straight to overcome the No. 1 seeded Sun.
Chicago started out fast in Game 4, jumping out to a 13-4 lead early in the first. They never looked back after that, exerting their dominance over a shorthanded Connecticut squad. Candace Parker did it all for the Sky, finishing with 17 points, nine rebounds, eight assists along with two blocks and two steals.
This is Chicago’s second time making the WNBA Finals with a record of .500 or worse, having done so in 2014, per ESPN’s Stats & Information. Only two other teams in league history (2013 Atlanta Dream and 2004 Sun) have matched the feat.
Wintrust Arena was electric throughout the game, and there were many big names in attendance to watch the Sky punch their ticket to the Finals. Hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper was present for the contest, making good on his promise after saying he would come watch Game 4 in-person after the team’s Game 3 victory.
