The Chicago Sky pulled off a great comeback to beat Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA finals. Candace Parker led her hometown to the WNBA championship as they won back-to-back games. This also marks Chicago’s first franchise championship and what better way to do so. However, while Phoenix Mercury lost, it was Chris Paul who took the heat.

After trailing for most of the game, Chicago shifted gears and made a great comeback late in the game. For the Mercury, Brittney Griner did her part in establishing a significant lead. However, Quigley put some important points for the Suns to pull off the miracle comeback. This marks Candace Parker’s second WNBA title, her first coming in 2016.
