    Chicago — DeWanna Bonner scored 19 points, DiJonai Carrington and Brionna Jones each scored 16 and the Connecticut Sun beat the Chicago Sky 86-82 on Saturday night.

Reese made the two foul shots with 3:41 left in the period to give Chicago a 60-59 lead. Carrington countered with a driving layup 38 seconds later.

    Bonner's 3-pointer with 7:03 remaining made it 78-71 before Chicago went on an 8-0 run and Dana Evans' 3-pointer with 5:03 left gave the Sky their last lead at 79-78.

    Bonner followed with a three-point play and a mid-range jumper and Connecticut led the rest of the way.

    Marina Mabrey scored 23 points for Chicago (2-2) while Evans and Reese had 13 points each.
