Marina Mabrey and Dana Evans are taking another step in cementing a key connection in the Chicago Sky's backcourt.
It was a frustrating blow for the Sky, who fell to 4-6 and lost their third straight. But in the process, Mabrey and Evans took another step in cementing a key connection in the team’s backcourt.The pair often split rotations, with Evans coming off the bench to replace Mabrey as primary ballhandler. But one of the most effective offensive looks for the Sky is pairing Mabrey and Evans together to create a fluid, fast-paced offense that can start with either guard at the point of attack.
“It just relieves pressure for both of us,” Mabrey said. “We both are playmakers and decision-makers, so that that trust factor and chemistry. just plays hard. She’s a hooper. She’s a baller. You can always feed off of that.” At the top of the fourth quarter, Mabrey sprinted full court, stuck out one hand to snag a rocketing pass like a wide receiver, then stepped back to collect herself for a half-second before draining her sixth 3-pointer of the night.
The Sky's Dana Evans drives to the basket and is fouled by the Fever's Erica Wheeler during the second half of a game on June 15, 2023.one of the most consistent clutch-scoring resumes in the league, shooting at an 85.7% clip to average five points for the highest usage on the Sky in the final five minutes of games with a margin of five or fewer points.
