The Chicago Sky are WNBA champions for the first time in franchise history.
The No. 6-seeded Sky erased a double-digit deficit and came back in the final minutes to defeat the No. 5 Phoenix Mercury, 80-74, in Game 4 on Sunday at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. They are the first team not seeded No. 1 or No. 2 to win the WNBA championship after going 16-16 in the regular season.
It's the second WNBA title for Candace Parker, who shook up the league by opting to sign with her hometown Sky in free agency last spring.
