After suffering three consecutive losses, the Dallas Wings (7-22) secured a critical 113-110 win over the Los Angeles Sparks (6-24) on Sunday at College Park Center. The Wings, who trailed throughout most of the game, managed to take their first lead with just 7.2 seconds left, driven by a powerful 40-18 fourth quarter.
This victory marked the third time this season the Wings have scored over 100 points. Although their playoff chances are slim, head coach Latricia Trammell stressed the importance of ending the season strong, saying, “It’s about breathing life into one another.”
The Sparks quickly jumped to an 8-0 lead due to early miscommunication, forcing the Wings to call a timeout within the first 90 seconds. Sparks rookie forward Rickea Jackson stood out, scoring 16 points in the first quarter. This rookie class, including players like Jackson, Clark, and Reese, is setting new standards in the league. Jackson, in particular, is finding her place in the Sparks’ system and seems poised to complement fellow rookie Cameron Brink, who suffered an ACL injury early in the season.
