- Kamilla Cardoso went 13-for-13 from the field for 30 points and 8 rebounds, setting the WNBA record for most field goals without a miss and becoming the second player in league history with a 30-point, 100% shooting game (joining Nneka Ogwumike's 12-for-12 in 2016).
- The Chicago Sky beat the Portland Fire 124-94, scoring the second-most points by a team in regulation in WNBA history while setting a league record with 38 assists and shooting 66.2% from the field.
- Courtney Vandersloot made her season debut off the bench after a torn ACL limited her to seven games in 2025, finishing with 10 points and seven assists in her return to the franchise that drafted her No. 3 in 2011.
- Sydney Taylor scored 29 points, her third 25-point game of the season, tying Olivia Miles for the most among WNBA rookies.
- The Portland Fire became only the second team in WNBA history to allow 100-plus points in three straight road games (joining the 2018 Las Vegas Aces), as Bridget Carleton led Portland with 20 points.
- Coach Tyler Marsh said he must now integrate three point guards — Vandersloot, Skylar Diggins, and Natasha Cloud — and plans to play Diggins more off-ball with Vandersloot back in the rotation.
Why it matters: Cardoso's record-setting efficiency, paired with Vandersloot's return from a torn ACL and a team-record 38 assists, signals the Sky's offensive ceiling when healthy — though Portland's collapse (second team ever to allow 100-plus in three straight road games) tempers how much this 124-point outburst actually proves.
