Chicago Sky make WNBA history by making unbelievable 28-point comeback against Las Vegas Aces

The defending champions Chicago Sky defeated the Las Vegas Aces 104-95 Tuesday night, after coming back from 28 points down thanks to Courtney Vandersloot’s 25 points. A 25-point surge by the Sky, most recently in 2013, set the previous record. Despite having a second-quarter lead of 51-23 over Chicago, Becky Hammon’s squad was overtaken by Candace Parker and company.

Since the two clubs split their head-to-head matchups as a result of the victory, the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final host will be decided by the second tiebreaker. With two games remaining, the Aces have a significant lead over the Sky based on point difference in the cup games.

A valiant team effort by the Chicago Sky to beat the best team in the league.

The Las Vegas Aces established a franchise record most points in a quarter with 41 points in the opening quarter on 63 percent field goal shooting. After falling down by 28 points, the Chicago Sky outscored Las Vegas 59-25 to take the lead heading into the final quarter. In the third quarter, the Sky embarked on an 18-0 run as Azura Stevens and Emma Meesseman each scored 17 points for Chicago, while Candace Parker added 17 points and 10 rebounds . Coach James Wade, who led the Sky to the franchise’s first WNBA title last year, said his team’s experience helped Tuesday. Wade said: “It’s not easy to win in this league. You know that people beside you have done it, and so you have confidence in them.”

For Las Vegas, Jackie Young scored 23 points, Kelsey Plum had 22 points and eight assists, and Chelsea Gray was the only starter who did not have at least 10 points before halftime, but she did have six assists. The WNBA’s top offense is found in Las Vegas. They shoots threes more frequently, plays faster, and averages more points per game than any other team. The Aces were considered the team to beat at the halfway point of the 2022 season, with their explosive starting five swiftly emerging as the league’s most powerful unit.
