Chicago at Phoenix

This series looked like it could at least be interesting as Chicago has become a better team as the injuries have mended. Many thought they might make a go at this series, especially with Phoenix coming off their series vs. Minnesota, which many thought they could let down in game one. That debate was quickly answered when Phoenix came out full throttle in game one and took apart the Sky on both ends of the court in a runaway 83-62 win. The Sky were outshot in the game 57.5% to 31.9%, as Phoenix displayed why they finished with the best record in the WNBA, and why they are likely moving on to a Championship. The Sky have not fared well vs. the West where they own a 7-19 ATS mark in their last 26 against them. The line is high here, or is it? To reach a perspective on it, the Sky own 19 wins on the season, including the playoffs, while Phoenix has won 23 games by 11 points or more on the season. Another easy win for the Mercury, so play on Phoenix.
