PHOENIX (AP) — Sydney Taylor scored 10 of her 16 points in the third quarter, Natasha Cloud finished with 11 points and six assists, and the Chicago Sky beat the Phoenix Mercury 77-66 on Tuesday night.

Taylor scored Chicago’s opening 10 points of the third quarter to build a seven-point lead, and the Sky finished the period with a 56-44 advantage.

Chicago led by double figures in the fourth until Kahleah Copper made a 3-pointer with 1:02 left to pull Phoenix within 74-66. But Jacy Sheldon sealed it at the other end with a 3-pointer for her only points of the game.
