Tuesday night’s Commissioner’s Cup championship game between the Sky and the Aces was starting to feel awfully familiar.
Exactly five weeks earlier, the Sky completed a 28-point comeback, the largest in WNBA history, to beat the Aces on their home court in Las Vegas. This time, at Wintrust Arena, it was a 23-point hole the Sky were tasked with climbing out of. The teams were competing for a $500,000 prize pool, with the winning team’s players earning $30,000 each and the losing team’s players earning $10,000 each.
