Paige Bueckers poured 25 points before a scary collision forced her to exit early. উচ্চ Dallas Wings, already on a 6‑game run, beat the Los Angeles Sparks 90‑82 on Sunday, extending a franchise‑record streak. Bueckers hit a clutch 3‑pointer that capped a 14‑5 spurt, giving the Wings an eight‑point lead with 9:12 left. The game’s turning point came when Nneka Ogwumike was fouled and fell onto Bueckers about 3½ minutes into the final quarter, leaving both players on the floor for a couple of minutes.

Ogwumike stayed in, but Bueckers, who appeared to hit the back of her head, walked to the locker room and did not return. Coach Jose Fernandez offered no update in post‑game media. Arike Ogunbowale finished with 20, scoring six in the stretch, while Jessica Shepard posted 11 points, 14 rebounds and six assists. Azzi Fudd added another 11 points as Dallas handed the Sparks their fourth straight loss on the road.

Los Angeles’ Nneka Ogwumike went 7‑of‑12 from the floor, finishing with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Dearica Hamby added 16 points, Cameron Brink 10, and Erica Wheeler produced 10 assists for the Sparks. The Wings will next host the New York Liberty on Monday, a game originally scheduled for Thursday. Dallas also defeated the Sparks 104‑96 in Los Angeles on June 5.
