Wings Erase 17-Point Deficit to Edge Sky 93-92

ARLINGTON, Texas — Li Yueru made two free throws with 12.5 seconds left for Dallas's first lead of the night, and the Wings scored 36 points in the fourth quarter to rally past the Chicago Sky 93-92 on Saturday.

Dallas trailed by 17 in the third quarter and by 14 entering the fourth. The 36 points were the fourth-most the Wings have scored in any quarter in franchise history.

Jessica Shepard scored 21 points, 17 of them after halftime, and grabbed eight rebounds for Dallas (10-6). Paige Bueckers added 19 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds, and scored 10 of the Wings' final 12 points over the last 2:27. The win was Dallas's sixth in a row at home and matched its victory total from the 2025 regular season.

The Wings outscored Chicago 36-21 in the fourth quarter. Bueckers tied the game at 84 and again at 86 before the Sky moved back ahead 92-86 with 35.7 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Sydney Taylor and three free throws by Skylar Diggins. Azzi Fudd made one free throw, and Bueckers hit a 3-pointer and the ensuing free throw for a four-point play that cut the lead to 92-91 with 30.6 seconds to go. Kamilla Cardoso then turned the ball over and committed her sixth foul, sending Li to the line for the go-ahead points.

Chicago built its lead early, scoring 14 of its first 16 points in the paint and leading 28-16 after one quarter. Dallas opened 5 of 15 from the field, with four of its five baskets coming from 3-point range. Maddy Siegrist scored eight points in the first half and helped Dallas trim the deficit to 30-29 in the second, but the Sky led 43-38 at the break and outscored Dallas 28-6 in the paint over the first two quarters. A 14-4 run in the third put Chicago ahead 59-46, and the Sky carried a 71-57 lead into the fourth. Aziaha James scored the final four points of the third quarter for Dallas.

Fudd, a rookie, finished with 13 points, five rebounds, and a career-high four blocks. She is the only rookie guard in Wings history with at least four blocks in a regular-season game. Arike Ogunbowale scored 12 points for her 11th double-figure game of the season. Dallas shot 45.2% overall and 40% from 3-point range.

Cardoso had 26 points, one short of her career high, and nine rebounds for Chicago (4-11). Taylor, a rookie, scored 18 before fouling out, Diggins added 14, and Natasha Cloud had 10. The Sky have lost five in a row.
