Montreal, QC - The Dallas Wings scored their fourth straight road win in front of a historic crowd Friday night in Montreal with a 108-95 victory over the Toronto Tempo. A record 20,996 fans filled Bell Centre in what was the first WNBA game ever played in Montreal. The attendance figure bested the previous WNBA regular-season attendance standard of 20,711 set in 2024. Paige Bueckers reached the 30-point mark for the fourth time in her career with a season-high 34 to go along with six rebounds and six assists, leading five Wings in double figures. Dallas improves to 15-8 on the year while matching its longest winning streak of the season at four games. The Wings also have their first four-game road winning streak since the 2022 season. With the loss, Toronto falls to 9-13, including 0-2 against Dallas.

Bueckers shot 13-22 from the field and was a perfect 6-6 from the free-throw line; it was her sixth game of the year with at least 20 points and six assists - second most in the WNBA. Jessica Shepard added her 14th double-double of the season with 20 points and a game-high 17 rebounds - her third double-double with at least 20 points and 15 boards. Arike Ogunbowale had her eighth 20-point game of the season with 20 points, three rebounds and tying her season high with seven assists. Azzi Fudd added 13 points, while Alysha Clark scored a season-high 10 points off the bench.

After allowing 33 points in the first quarter and trailing by as many as 13 points, Dallas outscored Toronto in each of the final three quarters, including holding the Tempo to just 10 fourth-quarter points - the fewest the Wings have allowed in the fourth this season. Dallas scored 100+ for the fourth time this year, improving to 4-0 in those games.

The Wings shot .527 from the field - improving to 6-0 on the year when shooting at least 50-percent from the field - along with 44-percent from three (11-25) and 19-21 from the free-throw line. Toronto shot .547 overall, .467 from deep and .786 from the charity stripe. Dallas finished with the advantage in rebounds (32-24), second-chance points (15-8), fast break points (12-9) and bench points (18-3), while Toronto led in points in the paint (36-32). The game featured 12 ties and 14 lead changes, including eight ties and nine lead changes over the final 20 minutes. Marina Mabrey led Toronto with 34 points, but was held to just two points in the decisive fourth quarter.

Up next, the Wings will host the Chicago Sky on Sunday at 6 p.m. CT at American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas. The game will air nationally on ESPN.
