## Resource

Chicago Sky dominate Phoenix Mercury 77-66, with Sydney Taylor exploding for 16 points—10 in a pivotal third quarter—and Natasha Cloud adding 11 points and 6 assists. Taylor’s early run gave Chicago a 12-point lead they never surrendered, while Kahleah Copper’s 25 points and DeWanna Bonner’s historic 8,000 points, 3,000 rebounds, and 500 steals couldn’t turn the tide. Jacy Sheldon’s late three sealed it. Sky (7-14) head to LA; Mercury (8-14) host Indiana. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
