What it means
This narrow two-point victory provides the Dallas Wings with a valuable road win during the 2026 WNBA Regular Season. Both teams had to dig deep into their depth charts to compensate for several key absences. Seattle played without Ezi Magbegor, Jordan Horston, and Jade Melbourne, while Dallas was missing Odyssey Sims, Alysha Clark, and Alanna Smith.
What to watch next
The Wings will look to carry the momentum from this gritty overtime win into their upcoming matchups. Meanwhile, the Storm will aim to bounce back and get their injured frontcourt players healthy for the remainder of the regular season campaign.
