Holmes' 3-point play with 4:57 left in the game drew Connecticut within 87-83, but that's as close as it got. Chicago received six straight points from Parker in an 8-2 run.

Chicago set an early tone by taking a 15-6 lead just over 4 1/2 minutes into the game as Quigley drained her second 3-pointer, but Connecticut was able to respond. It rattled off eight straight points to pull within 19-18, and trailed just 23-22 after the first period.

The second quarter was more free-wheeling offense with not much defense mixed in. The Sky opened up a 39-29 lead on a 3-point play by Azura Stevens with 6:34 left in the half, but the Sun closed within four before Stevens hit a layup to make it 52-46 at intermission.

Connecticut drew within 71-69 after Holmes drained a 3-pointer with 1:31 remaining in the third quarter. However, Chicago rattled off 10 straight points in just 43 seconds and secured an 81-71 lead to the fourth period.
