The Mercury raced out to a 19-point advantage at the break and never looked back. Kahleah Copper was one of three players who reached double figures.
She led the way with 30 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Valeriane Ayayi added 18 points, connecting on three of her seven attempts from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, the Sky have dropped two straight following a two-game win streak. Their latest setback was a 98-90 loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Friday night.
Chicago rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit to force an extra frame. Unfortunately, the defending champs scored 10 unanswered in overtime en route to clinching their 15th win of the season.
Skylar Diggins put up a team-high 19 points and handed out four assists. Kamilla Cardoso registered a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, along with four assists, continuing her strong interior presence and efficiency in the half‑court offense.
Phoenix enters this tilt as a three-point favorite. Here's what you need to know for both teams ahead of the Tuesday night clash.
This series has been one-sided, with the Mercury winning nine of the previous 10 meetings. Although Phoenix has not been an elite home team at 2-3, Chicago has dropped each of its last five road games. Based on these numbers, going with the Mercury is the wise move here.
