CHICAGO — Chennedy Carter scored 19 points, Angel Reese secured her 14th consecutive double-double in the closing seconds to extend a WNBA record and the Chicago Sky beat the Dream 78-69 on Wednesday.

Carter forced a jump ball with 1:03 left, with Chicago leading 70-69. Dream coach Tanisha Wright was called for a technical foul following the play, but Dana Evans missed her first free throw of the season in 33 attempts.

Chicago took possession, and Carter sank a jumper from the free-throw line for a 72-69 lead. After a Dream miss, Carter found Reese wide open under the basket for a five-point lead with 25.8 seconds left.

Evans stole an inbounds pass and was fouled with 20.6 left before making two free throws for Chicago. Marina Mabrey blocked a Dream shot and quickly passed the ball to Reese, who was fouled with 6.4 seconds left. Reese got a friendly roll on the first attempt to complete the double-double.

Reese, who passed Candace Parker for the longest double-double streak in league history Sunday, finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago (9-12). Kamilla Cardoso also had a double-double, with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
