Sky beat Liberty for fifth straight win

ROSEMONT (AP) - Sylvia Fowles had 15 points and 13 rebounds to power the Chicago Sky to an 80-69 victory Saturday over the New York Liberty in the WNBA.
Fowles missed Chicago s 75-55 victory over the Liberty on Thursday with a sprained right ankle and was questionable for Saturday. She played 27 minutes and helped the Sky to their fifth straight victory and fourth in a row over New York with her seventh double-double.
Rookie Elena Delle Donne, the leading vote-getter for the WNBA All-Star game, scored a career-low seven points. But Chicago had five players in double digits, led by Tamera Young s 17, and increased its lead to one game over idle Atlanta atop the Eastern Conference standings as it chases its first postseason berth.
