112-110 in overtime
SEATTLE (AP) --- Paige Bueckers scored 27 points, Azzi Fudd added a career-high
26, including the go-ahead basket with 13.2 seconds left in overtime, and the
Dallas Wings beat the Seattle Storm 112-110 on Monday night.
Bueckers, who scored 17 of the Wings' final 24, netted her 1,000th career point
in overtime to cap her night and put Dallas ahead 109-108. She tied Elena Delle
Donne for the fourth-fastest in WNBA history to reach the milestone at 52 games.
Fudd followed with a go-ahead layup that put Dallas up 111-110 before Jessica
Shepard stole the ball, and Aziaha James capped the scoring with a free throw
to end it.
Dallas finished with a WNBA record 48 made field goals.
James scored 18 points off the bench for Dallas (11-6), and Shepard had 14
points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Li Yueru scored 10.
Dominique Malonga scored a career-high 37 to go with 12 rebounds for Seattle
(3-15). She became the youngest player in league history to reach 200 career
field goals at 20 years and 219 days old. Natisha Hiedeman had 21 and 11
assists, and Awa Fam had 18 points.
Dallas trailed 94-88 with 1:24 remaining in regulation before Bueckers rattled
off the Wings' final eight points of regulation, including back-to-back
3-pointers, to help force overtime.
Seattle has lost 11 straight games.
