That 14-7 offensive-rebound edge is the number I’d watch in today’s rematch, with Chicago visiting New York. The obvious storyline will be the stars, but the more useful question is whether the Sky can create another possession advantage when the shooting itself was not what separated them last time. https://sky.wnba.com/news/chicago-sky-announce-2026-season-schedule

The glass flipped: New York won the offensive rebounds 8-3 after Chicago's 14-7 edge in the first meeting. That answers the rematch test, but it does not make the 85-66 result a one-number story. Turnovers and points off them were even, Chicago still led in paint and transition scoring, and the largest arithmetic separation was New York's 11 made threes to Chicago's four. https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/basketball/wnba/summary?event=401857184
