Regular Season Round 55: Chicago S. - Washington M. 87-85

Date: August 21, 2015
Sky guard Allie Quigley had an impressive performance on Friday night inside Allstate Arena as Chicago hosted the Washington Mystics for a pivotal Eastern Conference battle. Despite trailing 85-82 with just under thirty seconds remaining in regulation, Chicago fought back and Quigley nailed a game-winning three pointer with 2.1 seconds left to rally the Sky past the Mystics 87-85. "We got some good looks for some players that didn't fall earlier in the quarter, but when it counted, the confidence was there, the trust was there and we nailed it," said Sky Head Coach and General Manager Pokey Chatman. "What won't make the highlight is the inbounds defense [Courtney] Vandersloot had on their point guard where they couldn't inbound it. That led to a jump ball, which was very crucial and led to a possession where we were able to seal it." Chicago jumped out to an early 6-0 lead hitting each of its first three field goal attempts. Washington responded with a 10-0 run of its own. The Sky's bench contributed 10 of 23 first quarter points with Quigley and Clarissa Dos Santos adding four points apiece. After the first quarter, the score was knotted at 23. Delle Donne took control in the second as she scored 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Courtney Vandersloot added six as the Sky took a 45-43 lead at halftime. Quigley came alive in the second half for the Sky. She led all scorers in each of the final two quarters contributing nine points in the third and seven in the fourth. Dos Santos and Young dominated the fourth rushing to loose balls and grabbing rebounds. With 29.1 seconds remaining the Sky trailed by three, 85-82. Following a timeout, Pondexter slashed to the basket to cut the lead to just one. As soon as Washington took the ball over halfcourt, Delle Donne forced a jump ball and won the tip. Vandersloot attracted multiple defenders in the paint and dished the ball to Quigley for the game-winning three pointer as the Sky escaped with an 87-85 victory at home. Delle Donne led all scorers in the game with 22 points and eight rebounds. Quigley finished with 20 points including 16 in the second half. Vandersloot recorded 10 assists, nine points and career-high eight rebounds. The Sky returns to action in Washington on Sunday afternoon against the Mystics. Courtesy of: oursportscentral.com
