CHICAGO — In the third quarter of Saturday’s first-round playoff game, Chicago Sky guard Allie Quigley paused midplay to grin.
Quigley had just picked off her fourth steal of the afternoon, snagging a New York Liberty pass out of midair and pushing the ball up the court.
With a 63-32 lead emblazoned on the scoreboard, she had time and space to soak in the moment. So Quigley beamed as she fed Emma Meesseman for a transition layup to stretch the lead in a dominant 100-62 victory in Game 2 to force a decisive Game 3.
