CHICAGO (AP) — Natasha Cloud scored a career-high 35 points to go with nine rebounds and six ******* ists, and the Chicago Sky beat the New York Liberty 93-86 on Tuesday night.
Cloud matched her previous best of 31 points on a jumper from the free-throw line with 1:17 left for an 86-84 lead. After New York missed a 3-pointer, the Sky's Kamilla Cardoso made a basket in the lane with 39.9 seconds left.
Cloud sealed it by going 4 of 4 at the free-throw line in the final 20 seconds.
Cardoso finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds for Chicago (14-22), which had lost the previous two meetings with New York this season — both by one point. Cloud was 13 of 21 from the field, including 4 of 8 behind the arc, and 5 of 6 at the free-throw line.
Breanna Stewart scored 22 points for New York (22-15), which rallied from a 13-point deficit to briefly take the lead in the fourth quarter. Sabrina Ionescu had 18 points and 12 ******* ists, and Rebecca Allen scored all 14 of her points in the second half.
