Dallas found itself stuck in first gear last night, losing last night's Lynx vs Wings clash to Minnesota 90-86. The youth-powered battle featuring Olivia Miles and Azzi Fudd saw the Wings fall to 1-2 on the season.
Despite second-year Dallas guard Paige Bueckers’s 27 points, the Wings faded down the stretch, handing it over with a 16-point fourth quarter effort.
“I told them, ‘There’s selfishness in this locker room,’” said Dallas head coach Jose Fernandez. “You gotta look in the mirror and be accountable on how you played.”
The Lynx has now won two in a row — even without injured leader Napheesa Collier — as center Natasha Howard added 26 points and all five starters finished in double-digit scoring.
2026 No. 2 draft pick Olivia Miles put up 15 points for Minnesota, while No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd built on her Dallas debut with a healthy eight-point night.
“Each game she’s played is going to present new challenges,” Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve said of Miles. “That’s what I’ve enjoyed with her.”
