“I’m so disappointed in myself for writing this game off (context: I started watching near the beginning of the 3rd). But I’m glad I caught it right on time to watch an epic ending. Ever since the Sky traded Angel Reese, I’ve been saying the Sky want to tank and so far, they’ve done a bad job. This game makes me rethink that belief. It felt like an easy loss to take and an easy dub for the powerhouse Aces, but to Chicago’s credit (or detriment, depending on how you look at it), they held their own, in spite of A’ja Wilson’s typical dominance. They took the 2004 Pistons’ Finals strategy: let the big dominant player score however much they want while holding off everybody else and it worked. Although, it looked like a foolish tactic for a while. The Sky looked helpless down the stretch and it made me think the Aces were gonna take it. Would’ve been just a valiant effort. Instead, Sydney Taylor got free with a screen and swished the big time shot to give the Sky an awesome win. ”
