What's better than one Azzi??? Two Azzis 😁💚 Every fan that attends our Wings Celebrate: Fans & Arlington night tomo

What happened: Dallas finished off a 97-77 win over Los Angeles with Paige Bueckers posting 19 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Nneka Ogwumike led Los Angeles with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and Dearica Hamby added 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Why it matters: Bueckers delivered the game's top scoring line, giving Dallas the clearest individual edge in the box score. Los Angeles still got steady production from Ogwumike and Hamby, but that pairing could not erase the final margin.

By the numbers: Bueckers' 19 points topped Ogwumike's 18 for game-high honors, and both leading lines added rebounds and playmaking: Bueckers had 6 boards and 3 assists, while Ogwumike had 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

What to watch: Dallas next turns to Phoenix Mercury on Wings Celebrate: Fans & Arlington night. The team said every attendee will receive a build-your-own mini Azzi.
