Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers absolutely went off on September 19, dropping 26 points, with a massive 20 of those coming in the first half alone, to lead her team to an 87-82 victory over the Phoenix Mercury. This wasn’t just any win, either: it sealed the franchise’s new single-season wins record with their 26th victory of 2026.
Bueckers Showed Out for the Home Crowd
From the jump, Bueckers was on another level at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. She hit a pair of those head-turning, step-back 3-pointers we all love to see, one in the first half and another clutch one in the second. Right before intermission, she even knocked down a triple while drawing a foul, sparking a frenzy among the fans. She truly put on a show for what was the Wings’ final regular-season game in the Arlington arena before their 2027 move to Dallas’ American Airlines Center.
History Made, Streak Extended
Bueckers didn’t just score, she filled the stat sheet, finishing with 26 points on 10-of-19 shooting, adding 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. While the Mercury (15-27) fought furiously, the Wings (26-16) held strong to extend their win streak to six straight games. That 26th victory for 2026 is no small feat, cementing the franchise’s single-season wins record and showing everyone exactly what this squad is capable of.
What a way to make history for the Dallas Wings! Securing that franchise-record 26th win, especially in their final regular-season game in Arlington, feels like a real statement. With their six-game win streak cooking, this team is absolutely locked in and ready for whatever comes next.
