In Arlington, Texas, Paige Bueckers scored all 22 of her points in the second half, leading the Dallas Wings to a 94-88 victory over the Toronto Tempo on Wednesday. This win handed the expansion Tempo their 10th straight loss.

Bueckers had a standout performance in the second half, going 7 of 11 from the field and making all seven free throws. She contributed eight assists and three steals, including a crucial steal that set up a layup for a 10-point lead late in the game.
