Overview
- The Chicago Sky lost 85-68 to the Toronto Tempo on Sunday, falling to a 4-7 record and extending a multi-game skid that has erased an early 4-1 start.
- Point guard Skylar Diggins sharply criticized the team's mindset after the game, saying the Sky must 'get out of that loser mentality' and directing a question about half-court execution to coach Tyler Marsh.
- Coach Tyler Marsh publicly accepted blame for the struggles, saying accountability 'starts with me and ends with me,' and he acknowledged the staff must find fixes.
- Chicago's problems showed up in the box score as poor shooting and rebounding in Toronto, with the team hitting 35.4% from the field and 24.0% from three and again losing the battle on the glass.
- The slide has been linked to the season-ending ACL tear to newcomer Rickea Jackson in mid-May, and the public tensions have increased media and fan talk about roster or tactical changes as the Sky try to stabilize.
