Hailey Van Lith added five points off the bench, although she and Reese combined for 12 turnovers as the home team made a number of important mistakes down the stretch to spoil a promising start.

The break did Connecticut no good. Angel Reese recorded a triple-double (11 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists) as the Chicago Sky came to Mohegan Sun Arena and went home with a 78-66 victory in a Commissioner's Cup game.
