The Dallas Wings (9-24) overcame the absence of leading scorer Arike Ogunbowale to edge the Indiana Fever (18-15) 81–80 on Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, snapping a five-game losing streak.

Maddy Siegrist tied her career high with 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting in her first start since June 6. Li Yueru added a career-best 20 points off the bench, hitting two early three-pointers and converting a critical three-point play with 2:31 remaining to help stall Indiana’s late rally.

Paige Bueckers finished with 16 points and eight assists, extending her streak of consecutive double-digit scoring games to 26 — the fourth-longest by a rookie in WNBA history. Myisha Hines-Allen contributed eight points, six rebounds, and a career-high nine assists. Rookie JJ Quinerly sealed the win with smothering defense on Kelsey Mitchell’s final shot attempt in the closing seconds.

The Wings led by as many as 17 points in the fourth quarter before the Fever mounted a 19–3 run to pull within one. Mitchell’s contested jumper with 33.4 seconds left cut the deficit to 81–80, but Dallas held on after forcing a miss at the buzzer.

Dallas recorded 25 assists on 30 made field goals and held a 27–10 edge in points off turnovers. Indiana, playing without Caitlin Clark (groin), was led by Mitchell’s 24 points. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham each scored 14, while Natasha Howard posted a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
