The Chicago Sky look to snap a three-game skid and exact a measure of revenge for an early-season loss to the Washington Mystics when the teams meet in the nation’s capital on Sunday afternoon.
The Sky (5-6) dropped double-digit decisions on the road to both the Los Angeles Sparks and Las Vegas Aces before falling 92-90 to the visiting Indiana Fever on Thursday.
Marina Mabrey erupted for a career-high 36 points on 14-for-22 shooting from the floor — including 6 of 11 from 3-point range. Mabrey, however, was left to lament what she perceived as a lackluster fourth-quarter performance.
Robyn Parks scored a career-high 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting after being inserted into the starting lineup in place of Kahleah Copper (personal).
Mabrey had a team-high 19 points and Courtney Williams added 13 in Chicago’s 71-69 setback to Washington on May 26.
Elena Delle Donne scored 25 points in that game and added 17 on Friday as the Mystics posted their fifth win in seven outings with an 88-69 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
Washington (6-4) shot 50 percent from the floor (32 of 64) and 42.3 percent from 3-point range (11 of 26) en route to recording its season-high point total.
Natasha Cloud (ankle) sat out Friday’s contest. She is considered day-to-day by coach Eric Thibault.
