Overview
- The Dallas Wings routed the Seattle Storm 92-70 on Sunday as Paige Bueckers scored 32 points and shot a flawless 6-for-6 from beyond the arc to fuel a 34-17 first-quarter lead.
- Bueckers tied the WNBA mark for most three-pointers made without a miss and became the first player since the league adopted quarters in 2006 to score 32 points without playing the fourth quarter.
- The victory moved Dallas to 22-16, matching the franchise single-season wins record, and the Wings can clinch a playoff berth with a home win against Portland on Tuesday.
- Dallas will have to navigate the rest of the season without rookie Azzi Fudd, who was ruled out for the year with a knee injury that requires surgery, increasing the team's reliance on Bueckers and core veterans.
- Seattle dropped deeper into a lost season and are already eliminated from postseason contention, while Dallas's recent two-game winning streak provides momentum and raises questions about how the Wings will balance minutes and scoring as they close the regular season.
