After Allisha Gray hit two free throws with 9.5 seconds left,
the Sky took a timeout to advance the ball to the front count.
Sydney Taylor took the inbounds pass, worked around a high
screen by Kamilla Cardoso and hit a deep, straight-away 3 to
make it 91-all four seconds later.
Canada took a handoff from Brionna Jones on the right wing and
darted to the hoop for the go-ahead basket.
Reese’s knee buckled when she came to a jump stop under the
basket early in the fourth quarter and she fell to the ground as
she missed the layup. She got up quickly, but went down again
after a few seconds. Reese returned to the bench and the Dream
ruled her out for the rest of the game.
Gray led the Dream (16-10) with 29 points, and Canada finished
with 10 points, nine assists and three steals. Madina Okot had
14 points and four rebounds in 11 minutes. Jones grabbed 10
rebounds to go with six points in 15 minutes off the bench. The
four-time All-Star missed the first 24 games while recovering
from a knee injury before she played 15 minutes in a 111-92 win
at Toronto on Friday.
