Overview
- Sydney Taylor sank a contested three-pointer with 0.9 seconds left to turn a two-point deficit into an 84-83 victory for the Chicago Sky on Saturday.
- Taylor finished as Chicago’s leading scorer with 29 points and five made 3-pointers while the Sky outscored Las Vegas 29-18 in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback.
- A'ja Wilson led all players with 36 points and added 12 rebounds, but the Aces had no timeouts remaining after Taylor’s shot and could not get off a response.
- The win improved Chicago to 11-18, kept a slim playoff path open for the Sky, and provided a timely morale boost during a five-game homestand with 15 games left before the FIBA break.
- Taylor is an undrafted 25-year-old who played professionally in Lithuania and Poland before earning a Sky roster spot, and her breakout season has put her in early conversation for postseason rookie honors.
