The Chicago Sky are set to host the back-to-back defending WNBA champions Las Vegas Aces at the Wintrust Arena on Sunday. The Sky will look to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Aces are also trying to do the same and get out of their funk.
Chicago started the second half of the regular season with a loss to the Phoenix Mercury before bouncing back with a win over the LA Sparks. However, they lost to the Mercury again on Aug. 19 and came up short in a two-point defeat versus the Connecticut Sun on Friday.
On the other hand, the Aces lost the WNBA Finals rematch to the New York Liberty on Aug. 17. They then made quick work of the Sparks before back-to-back losses to the Minnesota Lynx in a home-and-home series on Wednesday and Friday.
