Damiris Dantas' 28 points lead Lynx over Sky

After her team had held on to beat Chicago 86-83 Wednesday at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla, in a game that probably shouldn't have been as tight as it was, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve went all the way back to the earliest days of training camp to explain her team's latest big win.

She saw it then, she said. A team that, while young, had some toughness. A team that didn't wilt during difficult times in scrimmages, didn't hide when coaches called players out. A team that stuck together when the stuff hit the fan.

"I told this team we had that,'' Reeve said. "This team really has a sense of, 'OK, this hasn't gone like we wanted to, but we're going to focus on this.' ''
