DALLAS \u2014 Paige Bueckers had 22 points and 11 assists, Jessica Shepard added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Dallas Wings beat the Chicago Sky 96-91 on Sunday.<\/p>

The Wings (16-8) have won a season-high five straight games, their longest streak since also winning five in a row in 2023.<\/p>\n

Arike Ogunbowale scored 17 points and Azzi Fudd 16 for Dallas at the American Airlines Center, home of the NBA\u2019s Mavericks, in front of a crowd of 13,236.<\/p>\n

Li Yueru had 10 points and a season-high 10 rebounds and slowed down Chicago\u2019s Kamilla Cardoso after a hot start. Cardoso had six points on 3-of-5 shooting and five rebounds in the first five minutes before Yueru came off the bench.<\/p>\n

Cardoso finished 6 of 12 from the field with 12 points and 13 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Fudd hit a 3-pointer just before the shot clock expired and then blocked a shot at the other end before Shepard made layup that gave Dallas the lead for good with 3:07 left. Ogunbowale made a layup with 42 seconds left that capped a 15-5 run and made it 94-89.<\/p>

Sydney Taylor led the Sky (7-16) with 20 points, Azura Stevens added 18 and a season-high 13 rebounds, and Natasha Cloud scored 15.<\/p>\n

Dallas\u2019 Alanna Smith left the game in the first half due to a left leg injury and did not return.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s Skylar Diggins missed her third consecutive game due to a knee injury. The six-time All-WNBA pick (four first-team selections), who signed a two-year deal with the club in April, announced Monday on Instagram that she had been informed by the club that she would be coming off the bench. The soon-to-be 36-year-old missed her first game Tuesday, a 77-66 win at Phoenix, despite not appearing on the injury report until 90 minutes before tipoff.<\/p>\n

Diggins has started the last 277 regular-season games she has played, beginning in 2016 for Dallas.<\/p>
