Dallas WingsvsLos Angeles Sparks
DAL 104/LA 96
Things to say
Dallas Wings beat the Los Angeles Sparks 104-96 at Crypto.com Arena.
01
opener
Wings went into LA and took care of business, 104-96. Sparks hung around but Dallas just had too many answers down the stretch. They're 7-3 now, looking like a real problem.
02
key player
Arike dropped 30 on them, ice in her veins all night. Plum had 27 for LA but it wasn't enough.
03
hot take
Paige Bueckers with 14 dimes is the real story. She's running that offense like a vet already.
04
deep cut
Jessica Shepard pulled down 15 boards, ate them up in the paint. Sparks had no answer on the glass.
05
exit
Anyway, Dallas is rolling. Curious to see what they look like next time out.
The recap
Dallas rolled into Crypto and walked out 104-96, and Arike Ogunbowale was cooking all night with 30 buckets. Paige Bueckers ran an absolute clinic next to her, dishing 14 dimes and getting everyone easy looks.
Kelsey Plum did her thing with 27 and kept the Sparks within striking distance, but Jessica Shepard owning the glass with 15 boards was the dagger nobody could answer. LA took the L and drops to 4-6 while the Wings keep splashing at 7-3.
