  "account": "On Friday night, the Chicago Sky triumphed over the Golden State Valkyries with a final score of 73-70. Sydney Taylor sealed the victory with a timely pull-up 3-pointer with just 1.6 seconds remaining on the clock. The Sky, who had initially built a 21-point lead, ultimately squandered that advantage. Taylor's three-pointer came after Golden State's Kaitlyn Chen had extended the lead to 70-67 with just 46.3 seconds left. Chicago's Natasha Cloud led the way with 17 points and a team-high 5 three-pointers. Kamilla Cardoso contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Taylor added 14 points of her own. Laeticia Amihere chipped in with a career-high 16 points, and Janelle Salaun and Tiffany Hayes added 13 and 10 points respectively. The game was interrupted by the disruption of multiple sex toys being thrown onto the court in the third quarter. This is the second consecutive night that a WNBA game has been halted for the same reason.",
