Sky point guard Courtney Vandersloot recorded the second triple-double in WNBA playoff history in Chicago's 101-95 upset over the top-ranked Connecticut Sun in Game 1 of the semifinals on Monday. She joins Sheryl Swoopes as the only players with a triple-double in the playoffs.
Vandersloot tallied 12 points, 18 assists and 10 rebounds in the double-overtime win. Her 18 assists also set a playoff record, passing Sue Bird's mark of 16 recorded last season for the Seattle Storm.
Candace Parker led Chicago in scoring with 22 points, while Allie Quigley added 19, handing Connecticut its first loss since July 3.
In Monday night's second semifinals matchup, Riquna Williams and Kelsey Plum teamed up to help the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces edge the Mercury Sun 96-90. Williams, a starter, had a team-leading 26 points. Meanwhile, Plum came off the bench late in the first quarter for Jackie Young and boosted Las Vegas' offense with 25 points.
Mercury star Brittney Griner wasn't far behind with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Diana Taurasi had 20 points, six assists and five rebounds in her second game back from an ankle injury.
