Kamilla Cardoso disrespects Chicago Sky coach in crucial late-game huddle
Twitter Chicago Sky rookie Kamilla Cardoso could not hide the look on her face when she saw the play that Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon drew up in a huddle with less than 10 seconds left in the game. Chicago was trailing by three to the Las Vegas Aces before the timeout, and ended up disregarding the play as Chennedy Carter hit a remarkable shot to tie the game. However, A’ja Wilson would go on to hit the game winning layup with less than one second on the clock, exposing Chicago’s poor late game execution.
Rookie Camilla Cardoso of the Chicago Sky understood that their team’s final-quarter matchup with A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces was inevitable. Take a look at how she couldn’t contain her disrespectful outburst upon seeing the play that Chicago coach Teresa Weatherspoon called with less than ten seconds remaining in the contest.
Even though the Sky was down the Aces by three points prior to the timeout, Cardoso continued to express her genuine emotions for the coach despite the gravity of the situation.
Chicago Sky fall apart after comeback
As it happens, the rookie who questioned the calibre of the play Weatherspoon called was right on. Surprisingly, Cheney Carter disclosed following the match that she abandoned the play that the coach had signaled since her teammates were not advancing.
With 0.8 seconds left, Carter heroically played hero ball and created a crossover-into-three combo to tie the game. The next inbounds play saw Wilson make the game-winning layup, exposing Chicago’s subpar late-game playmaking.
