Las Vegas led for most of the second half and took the lead for good late in the third quarter at 69-67 on Wilson's jumper. Wilson finished with 24 points.
The Sky (6-12) went scoreless for the final 3:52 of the game. Allie Quigley had 13 points, Diamond DeShields scored 11 and Cheyenne Parker finished with 10 for Chicago.
