Chicago Sky Falls Hard to Indiana Fever in 93-58 Blowout Under Interim Head Coach Tyler Marsh
The Chicago Sky faced a sobering setback on May 17, 2025, as they endured a crushing 93-58 defeat at the hands of the Indiana Fever. This marks one of the most lopsided losses in recent team history and comes under the guidance of interim head coach Tyler Marsh, who stepped in following coaching transitions earlier this season.
From the opening tip-off, the Fever came out aggressive and in sync—led by a breakout performance from their young core. The Sky, on the other hand, struggled to find any rhythm offensively and were plagued by turnovers, missed assignments, and a lack of defensive cohesion.
Indiana dominated every aspect of the game. They out-rebounded Chicago, pushed the pace in transition, and shot efficiently from beyond the arc. The Sky, meanwhile, shot just 32% from the field and were held to a mere 25 points in the first half—a deficit they never came close to recovering from.
For Marsh, this loss highlights the steep challenge ahead. Inheriting a roster in transition and dealing with lingering injuries, he’s tasked with stabilizing a team in flux. “We need to regroup and get back to basics,” Marsh said postgame. “Tonight wasn’t who we are, and we’ve got to respond.”
Despite the grim scoreboard, there were a few glimmers of hope for the Sky, including strong hustle plays from rookie contributors and brief scoring spurts that showed the team’s potential when locked in. However, consistency remains the biggest hurdle.
The Fever’s dominant win signals their growth as a franchise that has been rebuilding and retooling around promising young stars. For the Sky, it’s back to the drawing board—and fast. With a long season ahead, Marsh and his squad will need to learn from this blowout and regroup quickly if they hope to contend in the ever-competitive WNBA landscape.
Next up, the Sky will look to bounce back in their upcoming matchup as they search for identity, leadership, and winning form in a season already filled with challenges.
