WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Tina Charles scored 21 points and Brittany Boyd added 14 points and 10 assists to help the New York Liberty rout the Chicago Sky 107-84 on Sunday.

The Liberty (7-14), who finished third last season, won consecutive games for only the second time this season. New York outscored Chicago 26-8 in the third quarter to blow open a tight game. Leading 55-49 early in the third, the Liberty scored 10 straight capped by four consecutive points by Kia Vaughn.

Chicago could never recover.

Boyd got her first start of the season and helped New York build a 53-47 halftime lead. She had nine points, five assists and three steals in the opening 20 minutes.

Courtney Vandersloot had 15 points and eight assists to lead Chicago (7-15), which has dropped six of its past seven games.

TIP-INS:

Sky: Vandersloot leads the league in assists averaging 7.7 a game. … Chicago was missing Jamierra Faulkner (ACL) and Astou Ndour (sprained ankle).
