Arlington, TX - The Dallas Wings erased a 17-point second-half deficit to defeat the Chicago Sky, 93-92, in front of a sold-out College Park Center on Saturday night. With 12.5 seconds left in the game, Li Yueru converted a pair of clutch free throws to put the Wings ahead for the first time on the night and secure the win. With the victory, Dallas improves to 10-6 on the season, matching their 2025 regular season win total, while Chicago drops to 4-11 on the year.
Jessica Shepard led the Wings with 21 points, a team-high eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes of action. The outing marks her third 20-point game of the season and fifth of her WNBA career. Paige Bueckers added 19 points, seven rebounds, a game- and team-best eight assists, two steals and one block. She scored ten of the Wings' final 12 points in the closing 2:27 of the fourth quarter.
Rookie Azzi Fudd notched 13 points, a career-high five rebounds, two assists, one steal and a career-high four blocks in 33 minutes of play. Fudd is the only rookie guard in Wings history to record at least four blocks in a regular-season game. She also joins Seattle's Flau'jae Johnson as the only rookie in the WNBA this season to achieve the defensive feat. Arike Ogunbowale rounded out the Wings' double-digit scorers with 12 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. The outing marked her 11th double-digit scoring performance of the year.
