that gave Chicago the lead for good and made it 67-57 with 2:20
left in the third quarter.
Quinerly made a free throw to make it a six-point game with 3:37
remaining, but Reese made a layup, grabbed a rebound on the

The Sky, who beat Dallas 97-92 on May 29 and 94-83 on May 31,
swept the three-game regular-season series.
DiJonai Carrington (rib), Arike Ogunbowale (thumb), Maddy
Siegrist (knee) and Tyasha Harris (knee) did not play for the
Wings.
The Sky retired Allie Quigley's number at halftime. Quigley grew
up in nearby Joliet, Illinois, played collegiately at DePaul and
spent 10 seasons with Chicago, helping the organization to its
first WNBA title in 2021. The three-time WNBA All-Star's No. 14
is the first jersey retired by the Sky.
