Dallas Wings seek a consecutive win for the first time this season when they travel to a game against Connecticut Sun, who are struggling in Untrazavile, Con on Friday.
Earlier this year, the teams dominated Dallas to 109–87 in Connecticut on 27 May, so that their first win in their fifth outing of the season.
Wings (2–11) returns to the road at home on Tuesday to beat Golden State 80-71. Ruki Paigi Beukers put all of their 3-point efforts in 20 points despite remembering all. Arik Ogunbole added 19 points, Kaila Charles hit for 10 points from the bench and Nalisa Smith held a game-high 10 rebound.
“This was really just a complete team attempt,” the beukers said after the victory. “Everyone who played, somehow made an impact and contributed to winning, so it was good to keep all this together.”
Dallas left the seven-game losing line and won for the first time in six attempts at home.
Dallas coach Chris Kokalanus said, “Just love to win and we have to learn to win.” “You really saw a different penance in the last five minutes to know and get it – we went and we took it.”
The Sun (2–10) has dropped four direct competitions, recently a shock of 83-75 at home for Phoenix on Wednesday. Connecticut, after losing in Indiana on Tuesday, played a road-house back-to-back playing and led by 16 points from Anisah Moro and nine rebounds from the bench, while JC Sheldon added 13 points and Olivia Nelson-Ododa added 10 points and 14 rebounds.
“How we competed against (Phoenix) (Phoenix), a good step for us, is a good step for us. “So, I will be optimistic for the next game because if we are able to play this way, I’m sure the next game can be more positive for us. This means that we are on a good path.”
Wednesday’s disadvantage to Phoenix sparked a regular-season game for Mercury in Uncasville since 2015. The necklace pushed Suraj into a tie for a franchise record to start the worst 12-game for a season. He was also 2–10 in 2016.
