Wings Hope To End Four-Game Losing Streak

The Wings’ 109-87 victory over the Connecticut Sun on May 27 snapped a four-game losing skid. However, Dallas enters this matchup amid another four-game slide, including a 93-79 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday.

DiJonai Carrington led the starting five with 16 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Luisa Geiselsoder led the second unit with a solid performance, finishing with 11 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and two steals.

Dallas kept the game close early, trailing 45-40 at the break. But thanks to a 6-0 run to begin the third quarter and another 9-0 burst to start the fourth period, Los Angeles increased its advantage to 76-55, essentially putting the game out of reach.

Phoenix led 23-19 after the opening stanza. However, Minnesota responded with a 48-26 scoring edge over the middle two quarters, taking a 67-49 lead into the final frame.

And thanks to a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter, Minnesota increased the lead to 24 points en route to its eighth straight victory. The Lynx have started a season 8-0 for the fourth time in franchise history.
