Good morning, Chicago.

The Sky suffered their worst loss of the season last night, falling to the Storm 95-57 at Winstrust Arena for their fourth consecutive defeat.

Playing without injured All-Star Angel Reese, the Sky gave up 56 second-half points and fell to 7-17. It was the third time under first-year coach Tyler Marsh that the Sky lost by 35 points or more. They dropped the May 17 season opener to the Indiana Fever 93-58 in Indianapolis and lost to the Dream 86-49 on July 16 at Wintrust.

Next up for the Sky: Indiana on Sunday at the United Center. Caitlin Clark's status for the game is still unknown.
