Lexie Hull Shatters Chicago Sky in Grit-Fueled Performance
Chicago Sky fans expected an easy win when they saw Lexie Hull limping onto the court. Her knee and wrist wrapped in tape, she looked like the weakest link in an Indiana Fever team already missing Caitlin Clark. But instead of fading, Hull delivered one of the most defiant performances of the WNBA season.
From the opening minutes, Hull turned doubt into fire. She dove for loose balls, clawed for rebounds, and knocked down clutch shots while grimacing through pain. What began as smirks from Sky fans turned into stunned silence as Hull’s hustle shifted the momentum. By halftime, Indiana had cut the lead to three. By the fourth quarter, the Fever were in full control.
The final score—Fever 97, Sky 77—told only part of the story. Social media erupted under #IronHull, replaying her collapse, rise, and dagger three-pointer. Even WNBA legends like Sue Bird and Candace Parker praised her grit.
As Hull declared postgame, “I didn’t play through it. I played with it. And I gave it back to them.”
That night, Indiana Fever proved they were no longer just Caitlin Clark’s team.
