Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.

After starting the 2025 WNBA preseason a perfect 2-0, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky couldn't get it done in the preseason finale, finishing 2-1. On Saturday night, the Sky fell to the Minnesota Lynx 92-87, just a few days after defeating the same team.
