(Reuters) – The Chicago Sky got here from behind to beat the Phoenix Mercury 80-74 and win the best-of-five finals sequence 3-1 to assert the franchise’s first championship on Sunday.
The Mercury seemed poised to drive a Sport 5 once they took a 14-point lead late into the third quarter however the Sky got here roaring again, tying the sport at 72 within the fourth quarter on a large open three pointer by Candace Parker.
The Sky took a lead they might not relenquish on back-to-back buckets by Stefanie Dolson and performed lock-down defence on the ultimate possessions to win the title and ship the sold-out Chicago crowd right into a frenzy.
