The Dallas Wings (16-8) are off to their best start to a season in a decade after defeating the Chicago Sky (7-16) at the American Airlines Center on Sunday night. Paige Bueckers scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to extend the Wings’ winning streak to five games, their longest since 202 3. Fellow All-Star starter Jessica Shepard chipped in 19 points and 10 rebounds of her own. Bueckers is up to fifth in the league in points per game. The only other Wing in the top 25 is Shepard at 15 points per game. The only player scoring more points per game on a team with a better record than Bueckers is reigning four-time league MVP A’ja Wilson. Arike Ogunbowale scored 17, and rookie Azzi Fudd scored 16, in front of a crowd of 13,236. The Wings have already beaten the Liberty (13-11) twice this season, both in Brooklyn.
