Kahleah Copper had season highs with 23 points and 10 rebounds, Emma Meesseman scored 17 points and grabbed a season-best 12 rebounds and the Chicago Sky beat the Atlanta Dream 106-100 in overtime Friday night at Wintrust Arena.

Allie Quigley also scored 17 points, Azurá Stevens and Rebekah Gardner added 15 apiece and Courtney Vandersloot had 11 for the Sky (10-4).

Meesseman made a jumper, Copper hit a 3-pointer and, after Rhyne Howard made a layup on the other end, Quigley hit another 3 to give the Sky a 99-93 lead about 2 minutes into overtime. The Dream (7-8) twice trimmed their deficit to two points, but Stevens answered each time — the first with a pair of free throws to make it 101-97 with 1 minute, 27 seconds to play and the second with a 3-pointer that gave the Sky a five-point lead with less than a minute to go.

AD Durr scored 21 points and McDonald finished with 20 for the Dream. Howard and Cheyenne Parker added 16 points apiece and Destiny Slocum scored a career-high 10.

Ruthy Hebard hit a jumper to give the Sky their biggest lead of the game at 71-53 midway through the third quarter, but the Dream responded with an 18-2 run that trimmed their deficit to 73-71 after McDonald and Slocum made back-to-back 3-pointers to cap the spurt.

McDonald converted a three-point play before Parker made two free throws to give the Dream a one-point lead with 31.4 seconds left in regulation, but Copper made 1-of-2 free throws with 19 seconds remaining to tie it at 91.

Howard missed a potential winning 3-point shot in the closing seconds. Naz Hillmon grabbed the offensive rebound, but her put-back attempt was blocked by Stevens to force overtime.
