Chicago (AP) Sydney Taylor scored the deciding goal with 1.6 seconds remaining to seal the Chicago Sky's victory over the Golden State Valkyries 73-70.
The Chicago Sky won their third straight game, tying their season record. The team (15-22) remains six games from eighth place in the playoffs.
The Valkyries (25-11), leader of the Western Conference, lost their lead of 21 points during the match. The meeting was interrupted to check a technical incident.
Taylor, undrafted at the start of the season, became an emblematic figure of the Sky's renewed performance. His decisive shot illustrates his growing impact.
Le directeur général Jeff Pagliocca a récemment fait l'objet de critiques pour des choix stratégiques discutables. La victoire contre les Valkyries marque un tournant.
The Sky now have seven games remaining to consolidate their position. The next meeting against the Las Vegas Aces is scheduled for August 28.
Natasha Cloud, Sky leader, insisted on the need to maintain this dynamic: “We know that every point counts. »
The match was watched by 12,000 spectators at Wintrust Arena. The tension reached its peak in the final minutes.
Chicago's next challenge will be against the Minnesota Lynx on August 30. The Sky's hopes rest with Taylor and his team.
