No. 5 Dallas is finding its way, pulling off one of the season’s more improbable victories in Saturday’s 93-92 comeback win over No. 13 Chicago.
Dallas overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, as Li Yueru sank two free-throws with 12.5 seconds left to secure the Wings’ first and final lead.
“We were just trying to attack that way and just chip away, not hit any home runs, but one possession at a time, dig in defensively, get what we want, execute offensively, and just keep huddling,” guard Paige Bueckers said postgame.
The matchup highlighted two teams moving in different directions, as Dallas won seven of its last 10 games while the Sky dropped 10 of its last 11.
Chicago questioned the WNBA officiating after its latest collapse, with center Kamilla Cardoso and guard Sydney Taylor both fouling out late in the game.
“Did we make some mistakes down the stretch? Of course,” said head coach Tyler Marsh. “At the same time, we can’t have those types of calls called on us and then the non-calls go against us.”
