“It’s crazy, super surreal. Just to watch her live out her dreams and just to know that a few months ago we were basically living together. So, its definitely surreal and I’m super proud of her.”

A win for the Sky

The Seattle Storm, despite all starters scoring in double digits for a total of 74 points, couldn’t hold off the Chicago Sky. Chennedy Carter and Angel Reese were dominant, combining for 60 points. The Sky‘s strong third-quarter surge proved too much for the Storm, who suffered from a lack of bench support and ultimately fell by four points.
