Chennedy Carter, Sky stun Aces in Vegas

wnba basketball

Chennedy Carter scored eight of her game-high 34 points in a 1:11 stretch late in the fourth quarter Tuesday night and the visiting Chicago Sky surprised the Las Vegas Aces 93-85.

Marina Mabrey added 15 points for Chicago (10-14), while Angel Reese chipped in 13 points and 10 rebounds for her 16th double-double in 17 games. The Sky snapped a seven-game losing streak against Las Vegas by making nearly 49 percent of their field goals and earning a 35-26 advantage on the boards.

A’ja Wilson scored 28 points and grabbed 14 points for the Aces (16-8), who lost for just the second time in 12 games. Tiffany Hayes came off the bench to add 19 points and Jackie Young tallied 17, but Kelsey Plum was held to eight points on 4-of-17 shooting.

Las Vegas erased a 21-point second-quarter deficit and took a 79-78 lead on two foul shots by Wilson with 3:34 remaining in the game. But Carter’s driving layup just 11 seconds later started a game-ending 15-6 run by the Sky.

Reese sealed the outcome by tipping home a missed shot for an 88-81 lead with 1:32 left, then she canned a pair of foul shots in the final minute.

A game that many assumed would be another Las Vegas win looked like anything but for most of the first three quarters as Chicago flew of the gate. The Sky led by double figures just over three minutes into the game and owned a 25-12 advantage after 10 minutes.

They pushed the margin as high as 42-21 with 4:07 left in the half when Isabelle Harrison converted a layup off Dana Evans’ feed. The Aces finally found traction, ending the half with a 16-2 run to pull within seven at intermission.

Chicago increased the cushion to 69-56 late in the third quarter when Mabrey drove for a three-point play, but Las Vegas rattled off seven straight points to end the period. Plum’s floater just before time expired drew it within 69-63.
