Overview
- Cardoso made a perfect 13-of-13 field-goal attempts and scored a career-high 30 points in the win, a performance that broke the WNBA record for most field goals without a miss.
- Chicago’s 124-94 victory also produced a league-record 38 team assists and followed a 101-78 win the night before, ending a six-game losing streak with two consecutive blowouts.
- Coach Tyler Marsh and teammates credited Cardoso’s recent focus, detail work and increased trust in the offense for her breakout stretch over the last four games.
- Cardoso has assumed a larger frontcourt role with Angel Reese absent and injuries to players such as Rickea Jackson, and she leads the team in rebounds and scoring efficiency this season.
- Despite the momentum from Friday’s game, the Sky remain 6-12 and face consecutive matchups with the Las Vegas Aces that will test whether the surge can change their playoff trajectory.
