Dallas WingsvsToronto Tempo
DAL 89/TOR 76
Things to say
Dallas beat Toronto 89-76 on the road at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
01
opener
Wings went into Toronto and just took it. 89-76, never really close in the second half. Dallas is rolling right now.
02
key player
Paige Bueckers is the real deal. 22 and 7 dimes, ran the whole show. She was getting buckets whenever she wanted.
03
hot take
The Tempo are a nice story but 9-11 is who they are. Nobody outside Mabrey scares you.
04
deep cut
Jessica Shepard quietly grabbed 15 boards. That kind of work on the glass is why Dallas got so many extra looks.
05
exit
Anyway, Dallas at 13-8 looks like a problem. I'll be watching their next one.
The recap
Dallas went into Toronto and handled business, 89-76. Paige Bueckers ran the show with 22 points and 7 dimes, just carving up the Tempo defense all night.
Jessica Shepard was a monster on the glass with 15 boards, and Toronto never really had an answer. Marina Mabrey's 19 kept the Tempo hanging around early, but Dallas pulled away and cruised.
Toronto takes the L and drops to 9-11.
