Wings Overturn 17-Point Deficit to Edge Sky 93-92

Clutch late execution and Li Yueru’s final free throws delivered a one-point comeback that bolstered Dallas’s home form and season turnaround.

Overview

  • Dallas erased a 71-57 deficit and a 14-point fourth-quarter hole to take its first lead on Li Yueru’s two free throws with 12.5 seconds left.
  • Paige Bueckers paced the rally with 19 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as she hit a key three while getting fouled down the stretch.
  • Jessica Shepard finished with 21 points after scoring 17 in the second half and helped Dallas improve to 10-6 and extend its home winning run.
  • Chicago started strong by outscoring Dallas 20-0 in the paint and saw Kamilla Cardoso score 26 points, but the Sky fell to 4-11 and a multi-game losing streak continued.
  • The comeback highlights Dallas’s deeper rotation and load-management approach after last season’s 10-34 finish and sets the Wings up for upcoming road tests that will further reveal whether this is a sustained turnaround.
