Paige Bueckers showed once again why the Dallas Wings' future is bright with a 92-82 win over the New York Liberty on Monday evening.

Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty failed to capture their first win of the season without Breanna Stewart, but learned an even bigger lesson throughout the game

The Liberty managed to clean things up in a comeback that fell just short, whittling what was a 30-point deficit down to six before the clock and the reinsertion of Dallas starters intervened. Jonquel Jones had 18 points in defeat to lead the team, one ahead of Sabrina Ionescu, who earned all but one of her tallies in the improved second half.

Arike Ogunbowale set a new career-high with 14 assists as the Dallas Wings defeated the New York Liberty on Monday night.

The Wings led 31-19 after the first quarter and extended their lead to 63-36 at halftime, when Ogunbowale became the first player in WNBA history to have at least 15 points and 10 assists in one half.
