Evans hits 3-pointer late in OT, Chicago beats Indiana 108-103

Alanna Smith's layup at the buzzer forces OT

Evans made a wide open 3-pointer with 50.1 seconds left in overtime to extend Chicago’s lead to 101-96. Indiana turned it over on its next possession for the 16th time and Evans sank a runner in the lane for a seven-point lead.

Kahleah Copper added 24 points and Alanna Smith scored 18 for Chicago (5-3), which was coming off a stunning 19-point comeback against the New York Liberty on Sunday.

Copper missed Chicago’s first free throw in 17 attempts with 2:07 left in regulation, but the Sky secured the offensive rebound. Copper made her next two free throws during a three-point possession to tie it at 85-all.

Rookie Aliyah Boston broke a tie on each of Indiana’s final three possessions of regulation — the last for a 91-89 lead with 2.7 seconds left. But following a timeout, Smith beat the buzzer with a layup to force overtime.

All five starters for Indiana (1-5) scored in double-figures as well as Kristy Wallace’s 16 points off the bench. Boston finished with a season-high 25 points to go with 11 rebounds and Erica Wheeler had 12 points and 12 assists.
