CHICAGO -- Tina Charles scored 23 points and had her 200th career double-double, Bria Hartley also scored 23 and the Connecticut Sun held off the Chicago Sky 94-84 on Saturday for a season-best three-game winning streak.

Hartley was 8-of-9 shooting, including 3 of 3 from 3-point range, the last coming with two minutes left to effectively end Chicago's frantic comeback try. Connecticut led by 21 points with 3:21 to play in the third quarter before the Sky closed within four points with five minutes to play. Hartley's 3-pointer made it 89-79.

Marina Mabrey added 20 points and reserve Saniya Rivers 13 for the Sun (9-27), who won just their third road game. Charles had 10 rebounds and is the WNBA career leader in double-doubles.

Kia Nurse led the comeback for Chicago (9-27) with 19 points. She didn't score until hitting two 3-pointers in the last minute of the first half and scored 10 in the fourth quarter. Kamilla Cordoso added 18 points, Ariel Adkins had 12 and Angel Reese had 11 with 11 rebounds, giving her 19 double-doubles for the season, matching Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson for the league lead.
