Wings Rally From 14-Point Deficit to Top Sky 93-92

Paige Bueckers’ late 4-point play and Li Yueru’s clutch free throws delivered a one-point comeback that raised Dallas to 10-6, leaving Chicago 4-11

Overview

  • Dallas erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit on Saturday in Arlington, pouring in 36 points in the final period to complete a 93-92 comeback.
  • Paige Bueckers finished with 19 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and hit a 3-plus-foul 4-point play with about 30 seconds left that sparked the final rally.
  • Jessica Shepard led the Wings with 21 points and eight rebounds, scoring 17 of her points in the second half to fuel Dallas’s surge.
  • Chicago center Kamilla Cardoso delivered a team-high 26 points and nine rebounds but fouled out in the final minute on a call coach Tyler Marsh called incorrect, a sequence that sent Li to the line for the go-ahead free throws.
  • The ending renewed criticism of heavy officiating late in games after officials blew 47 whistles in the matchup, and the result moved Dallas to 10-6 while the Sky fell to 4-11 with a five-game skid and a quick turnaround to play Monday.
