Phoenix Mercury vs Chicago Sky Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 3, 2026

Phoenix's road win over Chicago defied a season-long pattern in the head-to-head series. The Mercury had dropped the first meeting 77–66 before stealing a high-scoring affair 91–83, and this rubber match pushed well past both prior totals. The combined 207 points landed well over the 179.5 market total—a 27.5-point overrun that caught the pregame call flat-footed but rewarded DAGGER's live adjustment.

The opening quarter set a breakneck pace, with 53 combined points establishing the game's tone early. Chicago held a narrow 27–26 edge after one, but Phoenix surged in the second, outscoring the Sky 29–20 to take a five-point halftime lead at 102 combined. The back half remained close: Q3 matched the opener's 53-point burst, then Q4 settled at 52, but the Mercury's depth—anchored by Kahleah Copper's game-high 31 points and Alyssa Thomas's triple-double effort of 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists—proved decisive. Kelsey Plum added 20 points off the bench. Chicago's Kamilla Cardoso, Courtney Vandersloot, and DiJonai Carrington each scored 16 points, but the Sky's balanced attack couldn't offset Phoenix's late execution in the fourth quarter. The 106–101 final held tight throughout, a departure from Chicago's recent defensive struggles and proof that this matchup, even in a low-seed road setting, had plenty left in reserve.
