Arike Ogunbowale led the Wings with 26 points and Paige Bueckers dropped 16 points in the defeat. Bueckers also misseed a pullup jump shot with a minute to go which proved costly for the Wings. Dallas are 0-4 without Bueckers and 0-2 since her return to the lineup. DiJonai Carrington added 15 points and Luisa Geiselsoder had 13 for the Wings, who fell to 1-11 in the league.

This is the worst ever start for the Wings in the WNBA history. Dallas Wings had better shooting percentage than Aces from the floor and three-point range. However, they failed to convert those crucial attempts into points in final phase of the game. The Wings will now return home to face the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday. Team will have a five-day break to fix their issues and come back stronger.
