The Chicago Sky looked to be on their way to exiting the WNBA Eastern Conference Finals as they trailed Indiana by 8 at home at the half, but rallied back to get the game into overtime, and finished an exciting game with a 2-point win. The win should elevate their confidence and emotion heading back to Indiana for a winner-take-all game three. The Sky has to be even more encouraged by winning without Elena Delle Donne having a good game, as Sylvia Folwles took over by scoring 27. The Sky are healthy now, and have a similar game to Phoenix with the inside-out threat of Donne and Fowles. These teams are about even, and both did a great job on the defensive end with Chicago hitting just 35.6% and Indiana 43.7%. I think that the defensive intensity picks up some more tonight with it all on the line. A healthier Sky team is now 9-4 ATS in their last 13 vs. the East, and they have certainly gone into defensive mode following a win, as they are now 9-1 to the UNDER in their last 10 when following a win in their last game. They have also packed their "D" for road encounters at 21-8 to the UNDER in their last 29 on the road. Indiana owns a 6-1 mark to the UNDER in their last seven at home, and this series has played seven straight UNDER the total in Indiana. Chicago has the momentum,so look for the Sky to at least get the cover, as this dog has the momentum and is healthy. Take Chicago and play the UNDER.
