Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky has become one of the most anticipated WNBA matchups in the league, and it didn’t disappoint on Sunday.

The matchup, featuring the most expensive WNBA seats on record, came just one week after the Fever beat the Sky with an impressive 91-83 win. But on Sunday, it was Chicago that came away with the victory, earning a one-point win over Indiana after a strong second-half comeback.

The first half was incredibly tight, with seven ties and eight lead changes between the two teams. The second had both teams widening the gap, but only for so long: Chicago came out swinging in the second half, going on a 9-0 run to open the half, but the Fever quickly caught up.

As the third quarter finished, Indiana began pulling away, up by as many as 15 in the third quarter. But Chicago surged near the end to cut that lead in half heading into the fourth.

The Sky scraped back to a tie game, 82-82, with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. With a minute remaining, and the score tied at 84-84, Chicago took advantage of a raucus home environment to take the lead and hold on to it, winning 88-87.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, Indiana and Chicago’s top rookies (respectively), each picked up a double-double, in different stats. Clark ended with 13 assists and 17 points, while Reese picked up 25 points — a career high — and 16 rebounds. The game marked Reese’s eighth straight double-double, extending her record as the only rookie to achieve the feat, and making her just the third person in the league to reach the milestone.

Seven of Clark’s assists went to Aliyah Boston, who ended with 18 points. Guard Kelsey Mitchell lead the Fever in points with 24, going 5-10 on three-pointers.

Reese led the Sky in points, followed by Chennedy Carter, who had a massive game with 23 points and five assists. Kamilla Cardoso, the other Sky rookie, earned a double-double of her own with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Sunday’s loss to the Sky breaks a four-game winning streak for the Fever, who play Thursday against the Seattle Storm. Chicago, however, will take the confidence boost as they face the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, who are on the rise after a slow start to the season.

Indiana and Chicago will face each other for the fourth and final time this season on August 30 in a Friday night marquee, another home game for the Sky.

Angel Reese immediately found Sheryl Swoopes in the stands after their win over the Fever.

Caitlin Clark had 17 points and a team record 13 assists in the loss for the Fever. She shot 5-of-9 from behind the arc, too.

Angel Reese’s career high

Angel Reese went off on Sunday afternoon. She had 25 points, 16 rebounds and shot 8-of-12 from the field. It was her eighth straight double-double.

The Fever have 0.2 on the clock, but the hail mary fails and time expires. Chicago completes the explosive comeback and takes the one-point win.
