    Not this time.

    The Chicago Sky finally put its collective foot down on Friday night, wanting no part in watching the Washington Mystics celebrate yet another victory.

    The Mystics had had their way with the Chicago Sky this season, winning in grandiose fashion at Allstate Arena a couple of weeks ago, and then rallying to steal a win in overtime last week on their own floor.

    "We had the mentality that 'We're not going to lose again to this team tonight,' " Sky guard Jia Perkins said. "It started off in yesterday's practice and in today's shoot-around. We came out tonight and knew what we had to do and we did it."

    The Sky gladly took care of business in front of the home fans at Allstate with a 79-72 victory over the Mystics, who entered the game as the hottest team in the WNBA with four straight victories.

    The Sky (6-8) is riding a two-game winning streak.
