    Reese made the free throw, to a loud crowd reaction in Chicago, as her relieved mother clapped in approval and double high-fived someone in front of her.

    The made free throw cut the Lynx lead to 70-62, but unfortunately for the Sky, that’s where the game remained, as they dropped to 6-11 on the WNBA season.
