What happened: Azurá Stevens fueled the Chicago Sky's offensive attack on Sunday, scoring eight points in the first quarter of their Commissioner's Cup matchup against the Toronto Tempo.

Why it matters: The game is a pivotal matchup in the Eastern Conference Cup standings, where Chicago (1-1) is competing for a spot in the $500,000 championship game. The performance comes as Stevens continues to build on her franchise legacy, recently becoming the same Azurá Stevens who climbed into the Chicago Sky top 10 all-time blocks list.

By the numbers: Halftime: Toronto 48, Chicago 33. Azurá Stevens: 11 PTS (8 in 1Q), 5 REB. Nyara Sabally: 14 PTS. Commissioner's Cup: Chicago (1-1), Toronto (0-1).

What to watch: Chicago looks to close the 15-point gap in the second half as they chase their second Cup victory.
