The Sun defeated the Sky in the fifth game of the series to advance to the finals. It was :54.
Since 2001-02, no team has repeated as champion, and the Connecticut Sun made sure that wouldn't happen again Thursday night.
The best-of-five series will begin Sunday at 3 p.m. with the first game at Connecticut. The show is on ABC.
The Sun have competed in the semifinals for the fourth year in a row and have the most playoff victories without a title of any team.
The Sky dominated most of the game, out scoring the Sun by 18 points in the second and third quarters, and holding Connecticut to just eight points in the third as they led by as many as 11.
The Sky and the Wintrust Arena crowd were shocked by the Sun's 18 unanswered points. Chicago didn't score in the last 4:46 of the game.
The Sun's run is the longest in the history of the league. In the fourth quarter of a winner-take-all game, the Sky were held to five points, the second-lowest total in the playoffs.
Connecticut had the most turnovers of any team in the playoffs.
