The Sky struggled in their season opener, falling 93-58 to the Indiana Fever. Despite the lopsided scoreline, Chicago's offense showed potential, with Angel Reese showing out to a 12 point 17 rebound performance. However, the team needs to improve defensively, as they allowed the Fever to shoot the lights out.
