Bueckers scores 20 of her 26 in 1st half and the Wings beat the Mercury for 6th straight win
Arike Ogunbowale contributed 22 points and six assists as the Dallas Wings secured an 87-82 victory over the Phoenix Mercury, extending their winning streak to six games. Paige Bueckers led the way in the first half, tallying 20 of her 26 points. Ogunbowale finished strong, sealing the lead with a three-point play off a fouled driving layup with just over a minute left.
Aziaha James made a crucial steal down the stretch, and Bueckers sealed the game with two frigid free throws with 9.7 seconds remaining. Dallas (26-16) now sits sixth in the WNBA standings, just behind New York and Washington.
