Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 29, 2026

Han Xu's 19 points and 5 rebounds anchored New York's defensive-minded victory over Chicago, as the Liberty held the Sky to 66 points in a game that fell dramatically short of expectations. Oddsmakers opened the total at 179.5, moved it up to 181.5 by tipoff, but the combined 151 final score landed 28.5 points under the market. DAGGER's pregame UNDER call cashed decisively.

New York controlled the pace from the opening tip, posting 21 points in Q1 while Chicago managed just 11—a 10-point combined differential that set the tone for a slugfest. The first half combined for 70 points, well below the day's implied pace. Chicago briefly found rhythm in Q2, scoring 17 points to New York's 21 for a 38-point quarter, but the Sky never closed the gap. Breanna Stewart's 13 points and 9 rebounds, along with Leonie Fiebich's 11 points, provided secondary scoring depth for the Liberty. Natasha Cloud led Chicago with 14 points, and Sydney Taylor added 13, but neither could spark sustained offensive momentum. The fourth quarter flared to life with 48 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—yet the damage was already done: New York had built a decisive advantage by then, and Chicago's 23 fourth-quarter points came too late. The 85-66 final reflected the defensive grind that defined this matchup and validated the early UNDER sentiment, despite the late-game scoring surge.
