Kamilla Cardoso scored 18 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter as the Chicago Sky erased a 14-point deficit to beat the Connecticut Sun 94-88 on Thursday night in Chicago.
Cardoso, playing through foul trouble that limited her to just 21 minutes, shot 8-of-12 from the field and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line. The Brazilian center had battled fouls all night but stayed aggressive around the rim and took over the game when it mattered most. Sydney Taylor added 14 points and six assists for the Sky, who improved to 10-18.
The decisive sequence came late. Leila Lacan's driving layup with 4:54 left tied the game at 76-76, but Cardoso answered 16 seconds later with a layup that sparked an 11-2 run the Sun never recovered from, completing a comeback from a deficit that had reached 14 points.
