STWF Sports | LOS ANGELES | June 5, 2026  — The Dallas Wings took their hottest stretch of the season on the road and made another statement.

Dallas defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 104-96 on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena, improving to 7-3 and extending its winning streak to four games. The victory marked the Wings’ first regular-season road win over the Sparks since May 26, 2024, and gave Dallas its longest win streak since the 2023 regular season.

The win was powered by balance, shot-making and a fourth-quarter response that turned a one-point deficit entering the final period into a composed road victory.

All five Dallas starters scored in double figures, led by Arike Ogunbowale, who delivered a season-high 30 points along with six rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes. It was the 24th 30-point regular-season game of her career. Ogunbowale also added to her historic profile as one of the WNBA’s most dangerous perimeter scorers, recording her 12th career game with at least 30 points and five made 3-pointers, the second-most in league history.

Paige Bueckers controlled the game as a playmaker, finishing with her first double-double of the season. The second-year guard totaled 18 points and a career-high 14 assists, while adding three rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes. Her 14 assists tied Ogunbowale for the most in a single game in Wings history and matched Atlanta Dream guard Jordin Canada for the most by any WNBA player in a game this season.

Bueckers was locked in early as a facilitator. She had nine assists in the first half, the most she has recorded in a half in her career, and tied her personal best with six assists in the first quarter.

Jessica Shepard continued her dominant start to the season with her sixth double-double, finishing with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes. Her 22 points tied her season and career high. Shepard now has three career games with at least 20 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, tying Tamika Catchings for third-most in WNBA history.

Maddy Siegrist played one of the most important closing stretches of the night. She finished with 16 points, four rebounds, a career-high four steals and one block. Ten of her 16 points came in the fourth quarter, including two crucial 3-pointers that helped Dallas separate late.

Azzi Fudd rounded out the Wings’ double-digit scorers with 11 points, one rebound, two assists and two steals.

The offensive numbers reflected how sharp Dallas was throughout the night. The Wings shot 53.2 percent from the field, going 41-of-77, and tied their season high with 30 assists. Dallas also hit a season-high 41 field goals and reached 100 points for the second time this regular season. The Wings are now 6-0 when scoring at least 90 points.

Los Angeles also shot the ball well, finishing at 53.7 percent from the field. Kelsey Plum led the Sparks with 27 points, two rebounds and six assists, while Nneka Ogwumike added a double-double with 13 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

The game opened with pace. Los Angeles led 28-24 after the first quarter, with Ogunbowale scoring 10 points and Bueckers handing out six assists. The Sparks’ 28 points were the most Dallas has allowed in a first quarter this season.

Dallas responded in the second quarter, outscoring Los Angeles 30-27. Shepard converted a key and-one, Siegrist added a transition layup and Ogunbowale knocked down a late 3-pointer as the Wings entered halftime trailing by just one, 55-54.

The third quarter stayed even, with both teams scoring 23 points. Ogunbowale added 10 more in the period, and Dallas entered the fourth down 78-77.

That is when the Wings found their closing gear.

Shepard scored early in the fourth, Siegrist sparked a 7-0 run with a 3-pointer and a fast-break layup, and Dallas built a 92-84 lead. The Sparks answered, trimming the margin to two late, but the Wings finished on a 7-1 run to secure the win.

Dallas also improved to 2-0 in Commissioner’s Cup play. With the victory, Young Leaders, Strong City, the Wings’ Commissioner’s Cup beneficiary, will receive another $3,000, bringing its total to $6,000.

The Wings and Sparks will meet again July 19 in Texas. Dallas now turns its attention to another road test against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday, June 9, at 7 p.m. CT. The game will air locally on KFAA and stream on WNBA League Pass.
