Rickea Jackson hits late 3-pointer, scores 18 points to lead Sky past Valkyries 69-63

Rickea Jackson knocked down a 3-pointer with 1:41 remaining to help clinch it and scored 18 points, Skylar Diggins added 15 points, seven assists and five assists, and the Chicago Sky beat the Golden State Valkyries 69-63 on Wednesday night. Gabby Williams had 18 points and five rebounds for Golden State, which led by 12 early but couldn't overcome a cold night on offense — 22 for 75 (29.3%), including 7 of 26 from long range. Kayla Thornton missed all 11 of her shots in a rare off night after she scored 19 points in the Valkyries' 95-79 victory over Phoenix in their home opener Sunday.
