Sylvia Fowles led Chicago Sky over a 14-point deficit against the Indiana Fever and tied the series in double-overtime 84-81 of the WNBA Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.

Indiana started off strong in the first two quarters of the game and led as much as 14 points in the second quarter when Fowles sat on the bench after committing her third personal fowl.

Sky came back within striking distance in the third quarter to reduce the lead of Indiana by four 52-48. The fourth quarter was more of the same as Chicago pulled off another come back and tied the score at 71-all to send the game into overtime.

In the first overtime, Chicago jumped ahead with a layup from Fowles and a couple of free throw points from Courtney Vandersloot but Indiana's Tamika Catchings makes a 17-foot jump shot to tie the score at 79 apiece with less than a minute remaining to send the game into a second overtime.

Elena Delle Donne is having back problems but still played 39 minutes and scored nine points. She was instrumental in the final moments of the second overtime as she played decoy and got the defense focused on her while Fowles draws a foul under the basket.

Fowles converted one of her two free throws with 8 seconds left that sealed their victory.

Chicago has the tendency to fall behind in the beginning and then rally to win the game. It is not good practice for a team to win a championship but somehow, Sky coach Pokey Chatman likes what her team is doing.

"It's second nature for them to bounce back and stick together and feed off each other," ssaid Chatman.

Vandersloot added 18 points to Fowles' 27, while Allie Quigley came off the bench to score 16 points for Sky.

Zellous Shavonte led the Fever with 20 points followed by Tamika Catchings with 16 and Erlana Larkins with 15 points.

Game 3 of their best-of-three series will continue on Wednesday in Indianapolis and the winner will face either defending champions Minnesota Lynx or Phoenix Mercury in the finals.
