Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter discusses the emotional loss to the Las Vegas Aces after A’ja Wilson’s last-second layup. Despite the defeat, Carter remains focused on improvement.
Bollywood Fever: Chicago Sky fans experienced a rollercoaster of emotions during their matchup with the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday, where the Sky showed tenacity but ultimately suffered a heartbreaking 77-75 defeat.
The Sky played a strong first half, displaying solid defense and effective scoring, but their efforts were undone by a last-second layup from A’ja Wilson.
This crushing blow came moments after Chennedy Carter tied the game with a dramatic shot, leaving only one second on the clock.
After the game, Carter shared her thoughts on the difficult loss. When asked about finding moral victories in close games, she was candid about the frustration of falling short.
“For me, no, just because in Connecticut [on Friday], it came down to the wire, two points. Then tonight [it was two points]. For me, it’s like, dang, just trying to fight, to battle through no calls, trying to battle and get these wins and just not coming out with the ‘W’. It hurts me, you know?” Carter expressed after the Sky’s narrow loss.
Despite the disappointment, Carter remained focused on learning from the experience. “So just gotta go back to the drawing board, get back with coach, watch film, see what we didn’t do correctly because of course we made some mistakes, and then just try to get better and continue to make this playoff push,” she added.
Carter led Chicago with a game-high 25 points, shooting an impressive 75% from beyond the arc. Her most crucial three-pointer tied the game in the final moments, only for Wilson to secure the win for Las Vegas with a buzzer-beater.
The loss dropped the Sky’s record to 11-18, leaving them just one victory ahead of the ninth-placed Atlanta Dream. Despite the setback, Carter remained optimistic about the team’s future.
“I think it just shows our growth… this will get us ready for the future,” she said, highlighting the team’s potential moving forward.
