'Found A Way': Azzi Fudd's Career-High, Paige Bueckers' 1,000th Point Carry Dallas Wings Past Seattle Storm In Overtime

SEATTLE — Azzi Fudd scored a career-high 26 points and hit the go-ahead basket in the final 15 seconds, and Paige Bueckers climbed past 1,000 for her career, as the Dallas Wings outlasted the Seattle Storm 112-110 in overtime Monday at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Wings (11-6) closed a road back-to-back with their second straight win in the final minute and have now taken three of their last four. Their 48 made field goals set a WNBA single-game record, edging the 47 the Phoenix Mercury made in 2010. Dallas needed nearly all of them. Seattle (3-15) led 110-109 with 25.5 seconds left in overtime before Fudd answered to put Dallas back in front for good.

For a night that produced a franchise scoring record and a pair of milestones, the Wings were quick to admit it was not clean.

“Obviously these two games were about sticking together,” Fudd said. “We grinded it out. Like I said, it wasn’t our prettiest basketball, but we found a way to win both games. Defensively and offensively, when it mattered, we figured it out.”
