The Dallas Wings are off to their best start to a regular season since the franchise relocated from Tulsa more than 10 years ago, including going 2-0 in Commissioner's Cup play. The Wings defeated the Los Angeles Sparks and the league's top scorer, Kelsey Plum, on Friday night. They opened cup play
Key takeaway Friday's win was led by key contributions from Arike Ogunbowale – 30 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds in 34 minutes – as well as Paige Bueckers – 18 points and 14 assists, a career high and tied for a team record, in 36 minutes.
Why this matters in The Fort Worth
The Dallas Wings' impressive start to the season has significant implications for local basketball fans, particularly those with ties to Texas Christian University. With Olivia Miles, TCU's former star, now playing for the Minnesota Lynx, Tuesday's rematch between the Wings and the Lynx takes on added local interest. Miles' sensational rookie season has her favored to win WNBA Rookie of the Year, and her performance against the Wings will be closely watched by TCU fans. The Wings' own rookie, Azzi Fudd, has been making significant contributions, and her matchup against Miles will be a key aspect of the game. As the Wings look to continue their winning streak, local fans will be eager to see how they fare against a tough Minnesota team, and how Miles performs against her hometown team. The game promises to be an exciting matchup with plenty of local flavor.
