The two-time WNBA champion certainly used her winning experience to bring us back to the promise-land. Next, came <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/chicago-sky-are-locked-and-loaded-after-2021-wnba-draft\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the 2021 WNBA Draft<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that helped further along this Chicago Sky finals run with some young depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the draft and free agency period ended, the Chicago Sky opened their 2021 season on the road with a victory against the Washington Mystics.

When the regular season was all said and done, the team\u2019s record was 16-16.

But in the Chicago Sky finals run, their 6-1. They crushed their first two opponents in the opening rounds, crushing the Dallas Wings 81-64 and then taking care of the Minnesota Lynx with a 89-76 win. Their semifinal matchup could\u2019ve gone a lot worse after they went 1-1 in the first two games. Game one took two overtimes to finish, and in game two, the Connecticut Suns held our girls to 68 points. This would be their worst playoff performance, and their only loss of the postseason. The Sky won the next two games at home as they crushed teams on their way back to the WNBA Finals. It\u2019s their first appearance since 2014, where they were swept 0-3 by none other than our current finals opponent, the Phoenix Mercury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now after game one, they&#8217;re doing something they failed to do in 2014. Winning a game in the finals. They did it quite handily too, beating the Mercury by fourteen points in the 91-77 victory. The Chicago Sky were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/wnba\/story\/_\/id\/32385227\/2021-wnba-finals-chicago-sky-kahleah-copper-five-biggest-breakout-performances-wnba-playoff-history\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">led by forward Kahleah Copper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who scored 21 points in game one. Copper has actually been a dominating force the entire postseason for the Sky, and is a huge reason why we\u2019re 6-1 this postseason. She led the team in scoring when she averaged 14.4 PPG in the regular season. Then now, when the lights are shining their brightest, Kahleah Copper is making her mark. In the postseason, Copper has averaged 18.6 PPG, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. Thanks to her, the Chicago Sky finals run has gone smoothly. The girls are two games away from winning it all for the first time in the Sky\u2019s franchise history. You won\u2019t want to miss game two tonight, at 8:00PM CST on ESPN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Follow all of the WNBA odds and other <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.rush.colorado.ri&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">NBA betting<\/a> action at your favorite online sportsbook today.
