Dallas Wings claimed a 94–88 Women’s National Basketball Association result over Toronto Tempo at College Park Center, with Paige Bueckers pivotal through 22 points and eight assists. In a fixture without soccer-style goal events, Bueckers’ all-round fourth-quarter control helped Dallas hold off Toronto’s late 30-point surge.
Dallas established its advantage in the opening period, taking a 27–17 lead after 10 minutes. Toronto responded with a 20–18 second quarter, but the Wings retained a 45–37 interval advantage and continued to dictate the match after the restart.
The Wings produced a decisive 25-point third period while restricting Toronto to 21, extending their lead to 70–58 entering the final quarter. That cushion proved essential when the Tempo found greater rhythm late on, posting 30 fourth-quarter points to Dallas’ 24. Toronto narrowed the gap but could not complete the recovery as the Wings managed the closing stages effectively.
Dallas’ offense was built on ball movement and efficiency. The Wings recorded 24 assists to Toronto’s 19, made nine three-pointers, and converted 23 of 26 free throws. Their 88.5% work from the line provided valuable stability during a finish in which Toronto applied sustained pressure.
