Wings Outrun Fever's Late Push

The Dallas Wings snapped their five-game losing streak with an 81-80 victory over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night. Maddy Siegrist scored a career-high 22 points in her first start since June 6, while Li Yueru added 20 points off the bench.

Paige Bueckers’ wraparound pass to Myisha Hines-Allen for a 3-pointer gave the Wings a 78-61 lead with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter. But Dallas made only one more field goal the rest of the way — a three-point play by Yueru with 2:31 left.

The Fever, playing without Caitlin Clark for the 20th time this season, rallied to cut the deficit to just one point. Indiana scored 13 straight points to begin a game-closing 19-3 run that Kelsey Mitchell capped with 33.4 seconds left on a tough shot in the lane.

Mitchell finished with 24 points and four 3-pointers for the Fever, while Natasha Howard had 12 points and 12 rebounds for her eighth double-double this season. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham each scored 14.

Bueckers finished with 16 points and eight assists for Dallas, which had lost 11 of its last 13 games. Bueckers has scored in double figures in all 26 games this season.
