The Chicago Sky snaps their seven-game win streak on Friday Night as the Indiana Fever come into Chi City and beat the Sky 82-77. The win for the Fever is their 3rd in four meetings in 2013 versus the Sky and the Sky needs to avoid the Fever in Winning Time or things could get real dicey.

The Fever's 25-15 2nd frame proved to be the biggest key to victory as Fever Guard Briann January lead with 23 points including five money balls. Then Erlana Larkin, Karima Christmas, and Star Small Forward Tamika Catchings did the rest as they combined for 34 points, twenty-seven rebounds, and ten assists. The Sky just can't seem to match up with the Fever front court even though Sky Center and All-Star Sylvia Fowles had 23 points and eight rebounds. Star Sky Rook Elena Delle Donne added 14 points and seven rebounds while Swin Cash chipped in with 13 points and five assists.

The Sky and Fever had all the numbers pretty much even for the night except the +8 foul shots the Fever had and they hit seven more from the Charity Stripe than the Sky. That was the difference in the ball game as hey were the aggressor all night long the Fever.

The Sky now with a comfortable four game lead on the Atlanta Dream will head to Washington D.C. to face the Mystics on Sunday.
