- The Wings shot 59 percent from the field and 52 percent from three, with Arike Ogunbowale scoring 22 and Paige Bueckers and Odyssey Sims adding 20 each.
- Postgame reaction featured sharp social media criticism and media speculation about a possible fine for her officiating remarks, and the Fever next visit the Sparks on Wednesday, May 13.
