No. 6 Chicago Sky extinguish No. 1 Sun to advance to second WNBA Finals in franchise history

The No. 6 Chicago Sky are heading to the WNBA Finals after pulling the biggest upset of the league's current playoff format.

The Sky knocked off the No. 1 Connecticut Sun, 79-69, in Game 4 on Thursday night at Wintrust Arena in Chicago to take the series, 3-1. They are the only the second team seeded outside of the top two, and first outside of the top three, to reach the Finals since the format changed in 2016.

Chicago will make its second trip to the WNBA Finals in the franchise's 16-year history and is the third team to reach the final series without a winning regular-season record.
