Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 25, 2026

Aaliyah Edwards carried Connecticut on her shoulders, pouring in 26 points and 10 rebounds to lift the Sun past Chicago 87–81, though the game fell shy of expectations in the totals market. Edwards' dominance in the paint anchored a second-half surge that proved decisive: after Connecticut managed just 44 combined points through the opening 24 minutes, the two teams erupted for 95 combined points over the final two quarters, with the third period alone generating 51 combined—the game's highest-scoring frame. Yet even that late-game offensive barrage wasn't enough to overcome a sluggish start, as the 168 combined total landed two and a half points under the 170.5 market opening.

Diamond Miller added 21 points and Kennedy Burke chipped in 19 for Connecticut, which won despite allowing Chicago to outscore them 28–16 in the fourth. Kamilla Cardoso led the Sky with 24 points and 13 rebounds, while Azura Stevens contributed 18 points off the bench. Chicago's offensive punch came too late: the Sky scored just 8 combined in Q1 and trailed by double digits before mounting a furious finish that narrowed the margin but fell short. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under proved prophetic, cashing as the total settled at 171.5 at tip. The live call missed, but the pregame conviction held even as the second half turned into a shootout that threatened to push the number over.
