SAN FRANCISCO — The Dallas Wings erased part of a double-digit deficit but couldn’t complete the rally, falling 91-80 to the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night at Chase Center.
Dallas (9-6) led by as many as 12 points early before Golden State used a 27-7 second-quarter run to take control. The Wings cut the deficit to two in the fourth quarter but got no closer than five the rest of the way.
Arike Ogunbowale led Dallas with 21 points, recording her seventh 20-point game of the season. Jessica Shepard added 14 points and 10 rebounds for her WNBA-leading 10th double-double, while Paige Bueckers finished with 15 points and eight assists. Rookie Azzi Fudd chipped in 10 points and tied the franchise rookie record with five steals.
The Valkyries (10-5) dominated the boards 41-25 and were led by Gabby Williams’ game-high 25 points.
Dallas returns home Saturday night to face the Chicago Sky at College Park Center.
