Chicago vs Dallas   Matchups, Results & Stats

The Wings' home venue in Arlington, Texas, seats 7,000, but they will play host to the Sky in the 19,200-seat arena that is home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.

The Wings (15-8) returned to Dallas after sweeping four games on the road over an eight-day stretch, with the latest victory a come-from-behind 108-95 decision over the Toronto Tempo on Friday before a WNBA-record crowd of 20,996 fans in Montreal, Canada.

Paige Bueckers led the way for Dallas with 34 points, marking the sixth time in the last seven contests and 12th time this year that the second-year star guard paced the Wings in scoring.

"It was a good win, especially in the last game of this four-game road trip," Dallas coach Jose Fernandez said. "Four straight wins on the road is huge."

Dallas also received 20 points and 17 rebounds from Jessica Shepard in Friday's win, while Arike Ogunbowale added 20 points and seven assists. Azzi Fudd scored 13 points, and Alysha Clark had 10.

"We've learned that we're fighters," Bueckers said. "We're resilient. We stay composed and stay together regardless of what run the other team goes on. We fight until the final buzzer. We have different people who can step in and contribute on any given night. We're a selfless team that's willing to sacrifice for whoever has it going that night."

"It's really fun to play when everybody loves each other, loves coming to work, and shares the same goal, which is winning."

Dallas has not won five straight games since July 7-22, 2023, the most recent season that the Wings earned a spot in the playoffs.

The Sky (7-15) travel to Big D for the final game of a four-game road trip, following a 102-87 setback to the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday. The loss was the third in the past four outings for Chicago, which was led by Kamilla Cardoso's 15 points and eight rebounds. Sydney Taylor and reserve Gabriela Jaquez added 15 points each for the Sky, with Azura Stevens and Jacy Sheldon contributing 10 points each.

"We've been hanging our hat on our fight, on our grit, on our toughness, on our resilience," Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said. "I think (against the Sparks) we just recognized this wasn't the level of energy that we've approached the last several games with. We got to recommit to that."

Skylar Diggins (right knee) missed her second straight game for Chicago. Marsh said Friday that the team doesn't have a timeline for Diggins' return and added that conversations about her role remain ongoing.

The Wings have won the first two games of the season series with Chicago, capturing contests on the road by 10 points May 20 and by one at home a month later.
