Wings' Jessica Shepard has to step up in Game 2 vs. Valkyries
After an awful Game 1, Shepard has to deliver to keep Dallas alive.
Jessica Shepard must improve in Game 2 of the Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries series. Dallas requires their other All-Star to step up for their season to continue. Paige Bueckers did what she could in Game 1, scoring 21 points but ultimately, the Wings suffered a 104-81 loss at San Francisco's Chase Center. Shepard contributed no points in Game 1, missing all seven of her shots.
The starters aside from Bueckers combined for a mere 23 points. Head coach Jose Fernandez expects Shepard to be significantly better during the next game, saying "Jess understands and she knows that she has to be a lot better on both ends of the floor, and I expect her to do that tomorrow."
