DEERFIELD, IL — The Chicago Sky have a chance to snap their four-game losing streak against the Dallas Wings on Thursday. Chicago enters the matchup at 4-9, while the Wings arrive at the Windy City at 3-10. Starting guard Marina Mabrey spoke to reporters after the Sky’s practice on Wednesday and echoed a message that will light a “fire” under her team.
Mabrey and Teresa Weatherspoon expressed Chicago’s need to improve their offensive execution after their 91-83 loss to the Indiana Fever on June 16th. Thus, it was only natural to ask Mabrey how she felt about the team’s execution through the first two days of practice the week after. She said the Sky did a solid job but wants the team to enter their Wings matchup with extra fuel
“I feel like we’ve done a really good job. We’ve been drawing up plays and translating them from the board to the court. So I have a lot more hope that we’ll go out there with a little more focus and concentration. And just a little more fire under us. We want to get a win, and you can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting the same result. So hopefully we change our mindset and put little more effort into it,” Mabrey said on Wednesday.
Chicago has been working to clean things up on the offensive end, and Mabrey is confident in the squad’s preparation. She hopes Chicago’s practice sets will allow them to focus and enter the game sharp and ready for a win.
