Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.

Alissa Pili, Marième Badiane, Anastasiia Olairi Kosu and Grace Berger, four players angling for roster spots, contributed well.
