The Tulsa Shock remained winless in 2013, falling on the road to the Chicago Sky, 92-71 on Sunday.

Elena Delle Donne won the matchup of the top draft picks between her and Tulsa's Skylar Diggins. Delle Donne scored 15 points while Diggins scored just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting and added three assists. With the game in Chicago, Diggins had a large contingent of fans and family from nearby South Bend, Ind. in the arena cheering whenever she did something positive.

Epiphanny Prince led the Sky with 19 points, while Tamera Young had 16 points. Glory Johnson led the Shock with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Riquana Williams was the only other Tulsa player in double figures with 10.

The Shock played the first half well, trailing by just two points at the break. However, cold shooting plagued Tulsa in the second half—the Shock ended up shooting 41 percent for the game.

Tulsa played without Liz Cambage, who exited Friday's overtime loss to New York early with an ankle injury.

The Shock is back in action on Friday in Seattle, taking on the Storm at 9 p.m. CT.
