The season started disastrously: five straight losses, followed by wins over the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream. However, more big defeats soon followed.

Chicago’s defense is especially concerning. Alongside Connecticut, they are one of the league’s two worst teams in terms of points allowed—giving up an average of 89.3 per game. However, Chicago does look a touch steadier thanks to a better point differential: the team averages 75.3 points scored, which keeps them above their next opponents in the table. The Sky’s last two games were on the road—both ended in defeat. First, they fell 85–66 to the New York Liberty, then lost 88–70 to the Atlanta Dream.
On the road, the Sky have played six times, managing only one win—a 94–83 triumph over the Dallas Wings. All other away games ended in defeat, and in four of those, the margin was double digits.
