Wings Storm Back to Bury Aces Behind Shepard's Triple-Double

The Dallas Wings erased a 13-point deficit to topple the Las Vegas Aces 95-87 on Thursday night. Jessica Shepard powered the comeback with 22 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists, seizing control in the fourth quarter as Dallas pulled away for good.

The decisive moment

Down by as many as 13, the Dallas Wings flipped the script in the fourth quarter, taking the lead for good with 7:09 remaining. From there, Dallas closed out a 95-87 win over the Las Vegas Aces, completing one of the more impressive comebacks of the 2026 WNBA Regular Season.

By the numbers

Jessica Shepard: 22 PTS, 20 REB, 10 AST (triple-double)
Azzi Fudd: 22 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST
Paige Bueckers: 20 PTS, 3 REB, 6 AST
A'ja Wilson (LV): 21 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST
182 combined points; Dallas erased a 13-point deficit

Shepard's all-around dominance on the glass and in the half-court set the tone, while Fudd and Bueckers provided the perimeter scoring that fueled the rally.

What it means

For Dallas, the win is a statement in resilience, proving the Wings can grind back into games against elite competition. Las Vegas, despite another strong outing from A'ja Wilson, will rue letting a double-digit lead slip away. The Aces played without Alanna Smith, who sat out with an illness, thinning their frontcourt rotation.

What to watch next

Dallas will look to carry this fourth-quarter swagger into its next outing, while Las Vegas regroups and works to protect leads down the stretch. Wilson's continued production keeps the Aces dangerous on any given night.
