The Dallas Wings and Seattle Storm both head into Monday’s Western Conference showdown in Arlington looking to bounce back from heavy opening-night defeats, each trying to gel with retooled rosters that showed growing pains in their season debuts.
For the Wings (0-1), Friday’s 99-84 loss to last season’s runners-up, Minnesota, was a tough pill to swallow—especially with the spotlight firmly on Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick making her much-anticipated WNBA debut. Bueckers flashed glimpses of promise, finishing with 10 points and seven boards in 30 minutes, but the spotlight was dimmed by a third-quarter collapse where Dallas was outscored by 15 and trailed by as many as 21.
Arike Ogunbowale led the scoring for Dallas with 16 points, while new recruit DiJonai Carrington, acquired via trade from Connecticut, chipped in 15. But with only three returning players from last year’s squad seeing the court, the lack of cohesion was evident.
Seattle (0-1) endured a similarly bruising opener, falling 81-59 to Phoenix on Saturday. The Storm never held the lead and struggled mightily from deep, hitting just 3 of 17 three-point attempts. Skylar Diggins-Smith poured in 21 points, and Nneka Ogwumike added 12, but overall the Storm shot just 33.3% from the floor and looked out of rhythm from the start.
The three-point struggles and an early double-digit deficit forced Seattle into a frantic chase that never gained traction.
