The Sky played their best offensive game since their season opening win, but still came away with a loss as the Sun battled back to win 84-79.

Chicago outscored Connecticut by 12 in the second and third quarters after Nykesha Sales cooled off from her 16 point first quarter. Unfortunately for the Sky, Taj McWilliams-Franklin scored 13 of her 21 points in the final quarter and Lindsay Whalen's three point shot finally worked and she hit two deep shots to help bring the Sun back.

''That's the way it went tonight,'' Dave Cowens said. ''Whalen wasn't shooting well at all and then she makes a bunch to get them the win.'' Cowens and his players feel that despite the loss, the team is headed in the right direction. Mike Thibault gave the expansion team credit. “They played a terrific game and outplayed us for a good portion of the game. They hit some big 3-pointers. I think our experience carried us there at the end, and our conditioning.”
