Chennedy Carter, Sky fire defiant message after playoff blow vs. Lynx

The Chicago Sky had a chance for redemption after their 31-point loss to the Washington Mystics on Friday night. They traveled to Minnesota to face Napheesa Collier and the Lynx, but ultimately lost momentum and suffered an 83-66 defeat.

Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics defeated the Atlanta Dream, pushing the Sky back to ninth place in the league standings. Despite the setback, Chennedy Carter and Lindsay Allen remained defiant.

“We’re still here. We’re not going anywhere. We’re coming out with the same mentality and mindset every game,” Carter stated during the postgame press conference.

Allen echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the team’s focus on controlling what they can and maintaining a winning mentality.

While the Sky initially led against the Lynx, Minnesota made adjustments and took the lead for good. Carter led Chicago with 17 points and Cardoso recorded a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.
