ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Elena Delle Donne scored 15 points to help the Chicago Sky beat Skylar Diggins and the Tulsa Shock 92-71 Sunday in a matchup of two of the WNBA’s top three draft picks.

Epiphanny Prince had 19 points to lead Chicago (3-0). Tamera Young scored 16, Swin Cash had 14 and Sylvia Fowles added 10 points and 13 rebounds.

Delle Donne, drafted second overall by the Sky after two consensus All-America seasons at Delaware, shot 6 of 14 from the floor and is averaging 19.0 points.

Diggins, selected No. 3 by Tulsa after three Final Four appearances at Notre Dame, had eight points on 3-for-10 shooting and added three assists. Playing in front of a large contingent of Notre Dame fans, Diggins was cheered loudly during pregame introductions and whenever she scored or entered the game.

Glory Johnson led the Shock (0-4) with 15 points.
