Dallas WingsvsNew York Liberty
DAL 88/NY 77
Things to say
The Dallas Wings beat the New York Liberty 88-77 on the road at Barclays.
01
opener
Wings went into Brooklyn and just took it. 88-77, never really looked close down the stretch. Liberty couldn't buy a bucket when it mattered.
02
key player
Jessica Shepard put up a triple-double — 22 points, 12 boards, 11 dimes. She ate them up all night.
03
hot take
Stewie dropped 29 and they still lost. When your best player goes off and you take the L at home, that's on everybody else.
04
deep cut
Ionescu with only 5 assists, that's the real tell. When Sabrina's not setting the table the Liberty offense just stalls out.
05
exit
Wings sitting at 14-8 now — I wanna see if they can keep it rolling on the next one.
The recap
Dallas walked into Barclays and stole one, 88-77, and it was Jessica Shepard running the whole show. She stuffed the stat sheet with a triple-double, 22 points, 12 boards, 11 dimes, an absolute clinic from a player nobody was talking about.
Breanna Stewart went off for 29 trying to keep New York alive, but she was on an island out there and the Liberty just couldn't find enough buckets around her. Wings take the road W and jump back over .500.
