Bueckers Leads Wings Over Sun in Thriller | Dallas News
Description
Dallas Wings pull off a stunning 86-83 comeback win over the Connecticut Sun, led by Paige Bueckers’ 25-point explosion—11 of them in the clutch fourth quarter. Jessica Shepard and Alanna Smith added key scoring off the bench to erase a 14-point deficit. The game, packed with over 14K fans in Hartford, was a nostalgic showdown between former UConn stars Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, both drafted first overall by the Wings in back-to-back years. Bueckers sealed it with a jumper and free throws, while Shepard locked it down with two free throws in the final seconds. Connecticut’s Leila Lacan (18 pts), Brittney Griner (13 pts, 11 reb), and Charlisse Leger-Walker (14 pts) fought hard, but couldn’t overcome the deficit. Wings (12-8) head to Toronto; Sun (4-16) travel to Minnesota.
