Five double-figure scorers propelled the Connecticut Sun over the Chicago Sky in Game 2. Game 3 in this five-game series is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The Sky grabbed Game 1–a double-overtime affair, 101-95–on the strength of Candace Parker’s 22 points and Courtney Vandersloot’s triple-double. ‘Sloot’ scored 12 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out a whopping 18 assists.

To win Game 2, the Sun countered with five double-digit scorers, led by DeWanna Bonner and Allysa Thomas who had 15 points each. A rising star, Thomas also contributed 11 rebounds and six assists, both of which were team highs.
