Thursday night’s game between the Sky and Fever looked like a replay of their meeting nine days ago, specifically in the closing minute of the fourth quarter.
After Kelsey Mitchell sank a fadeaway with less than two seconds to play, the Sky trailed by two with control of the final possession. But instead of the 2.7 seconds they were working with last time, the Sky had just 1.1 to get a shot off. The inbounds pass went to Alanna Smith — another de ja vu moment — but this time her three-point attempt from the top of the key was off the mark and the Fever held on for a 92-90 victory.
