Kamilla Cardoso set a WNBA record by shooting 13-for-13 from the field, scoring a career-high 30 points to lead the Chicago Sky to a 124-94 victory over the expansion Portland Fire 124-94 on Friday night at Wintrust Arena.
Cardoso had the most field goals without a miss in league history and also grabbed eight rebounds as the Sky (5-12) won back-to-back games for the first time since May 9-13.
The Sky also surpassed the franchise record for points in a game of 114, with Jacy Sheldon’s fourth-quarter layup breaking the mark.
Sydney Taylor added 29 points and has scored 20 or more four times this season, second among all rookies. Only Olivia Miles has more with seven.
Azura Stevens scored 12 points, and Skylar Diggins and Courtney Vandersloot — who made her season debut after returning from a torn ACL in her right knee — each added 10.
The Sky jumped to a 29-17 lead at the end of the first quarter and never trailed again. They shot 66% as a team and hit 15 of their 28 3s.
Bridget Carleton led the visitors with 20 points, and Carla Leite scored 18 for the Fire (8-10), who made nine 3-pointers.
