The Lynx led 51-34 at halftime before the Sky (7-3) opened the third quarter with a 12-0 run to close within five points.
Maya Moore finally ended a seven-minute scoreless stretch for the Lynx with a short baseline jumper and then made a three-pointer to make it 56-46 Lynx.
Sylvia Fowles had her ninth double-double for Chicago with 22 points and 13 rebounds.
The announced crowd was 9,267, the second consecutive game the Lynx have had more than 9,000.
