- Paige Bueckers led the Wings with 22 points and seven assists while rookie Azzi Fudd added 17 points and Jessica Shepard posted a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double.
- Dallas controlled the game from the start with hot three-point shooting and offensive rebounds that produced a season-high 30 points in the first quarter.
