The Chicago Sky have won consecutive games for the first time in the 2025 WNBA season, giving them a 2-4 record ahead of their first contest in the Commissioner's Cup.

After starting the year on a four-game losing streak, which included losses of 25 points or more to the Indiana Fever and New York Liberty, the Sky responded with two straight wins against the 1-6 Dallas Wings.

Chicago will have a chance on Saturday to avenge its 93 to 58 loss that they suffered against the Fever on opening weekend. Indiana will be without 2024 First-Team All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark, who had a 20-point triple-double in their first matchup.

Two-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston, who was also the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, has been leading the way for the Fever over the last three games in Clark's absence.

Boston recorded 10 points and four assists in the Fever's 85-76 win against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. After the game, she had a quick message ahead of their contest against the Chicago Sky on Saturday.

"On to the next," Boston said.

Through seven games this season, Boston is averaging a career-high 15.9 points, 3.6 assists and 1.7 blocks per contest. She is also adding 8.0 rebounds per game during the 2025 season as well as a career-best 67.6% shooting percentage from the floor.

The Sky have been led by 2024 WNBA All-Star forward Angel Reese, who is averaging 10.0 points and 12.3 rebounds per night, which leads the league. 

These two young stars will face off once again at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Saturday evening as the Sky take on the Fever. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. EST.
