Dallas cannot afford another loss but Chicago have lost star Reese for the season
-
Two of the teams vying for the eighth and final spot in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) play-offs meet on Sept 8 (Sept 9 morning, Singapore time) when the Chicago Sky welcome the Dallas Wings.
Sitting in 11th place and three games back of eighth-place Chicago, Dallas (9-25) cannot afford another loss.
They are aiming to bounce back following Sept 6, when they held a 16-point, third-quarter lead against the Atlanta Dream but suffered a 107-96 overtime defeat.
After shooting 67.6 per cent from the field in the first half, the Wings hit only 32.3 per cent of their shots in the second half - and there is much room for improvement in this aspect.
Despite a 24-point game by three-time WNBA champion Natasha Howard, the Dream stole the momentum halfway through the third and rode it into overtime, where they outscored the Wings 15-4. Dallas essentially lacked the physicality and control to repel the Atlanta onslaught.
