Griner was unstoppable there down the stretch. It’s also great to watch really good fundamentals in a basketball game

I find this pretty interesting. Taurasi should be suspended based on league rules but instead was fined. I understand that this is a championship series but the rules are the rules.

Hopefully going up 2-1

Up 22 at the half. Gotta keep it going

Wow! Complete and utter domination. Wire to wire.

That was awesome! Gotta keep the door on the gas though. Don't let up now

Though it obviously hurts the Sky to not for Taurasi to miss the game, I think it's a smart decision especially given the WNBA is trying to grow and barely on its feet. It reminds me of how the ABA basically had a draft, but they just put the star players in the market where they thought they would make the most money based on college affiliations or local ties or whatever. Anything to try and get the league off the ground vs trying to make sure everything was 100% fair.

The WNBA isn't so big that they should bench one of their superstars in the finals over this.

Really crazy to me, someone who didn't follow the Sky in the regular season much, that this team was so average before the playoffs. They just look so damn good right now.

Kahleah Copper has quickly become one of my favorite players, male or female. The Sky need to keep her at all costs.

The Sky just looked average by record because they lost a ton of games when Parker was hurt. But with Parker, they were VERY good. That’s why many of the top teams didn’t want to see the Sky…play-in or playoffs.

It takes a home town finals for me to really love the sky, so call me fair weather fan, but man I am so glad to be watching this series. Definitely going to pay more attention to them next year. I mean we are all basketball junkies if we are posting on this site, and the WNBA season just juxtaposes (intentionally) perfectly with the NBA season. I will go to some games next year for sure.

Every time we cut it down to 5-6, they hit a big shot or 2 to make it a 9-10 point game

This time we tie it with 2 mins left! good game

Phoenix choking soooooo hard. Like 5 blown layups lol

Clutch Dolsen

I'm assuming it's an arena problem but the cameras get blocked out often when fans stand and cheer

Got damn that was cold! Sky wins!

What a sight to see. This feels a heck of a lot better than I expected it to. Just wow!!

Awesome to see them win it. Hats off to the Sky for bringing home the title.

I’m so happy Chicago Sky fans and franchise.

With both EDD and Sylvia successfully “Ben Simmons” us then to go off and win championships themselves.

To come out have this champion run hopefully renewed interest in the WNBA for Chicago fans.

Happy to see two of our own to big contributors.

Big win for WNBA basketball IMO

Is there a reason why players would force themselves out of Chicago? I know why for EDD but it seemed like we never had the "big names". As someone who doesn't watch the WNBA, I thought Phoenix would probably beat us with Griner, Taurasi, and Diggins as those are all names I easily recognize. Only recognized Parker on the Sky
