Heading into Monday night’s game between the Dallas Wings and New York Liberty, very few were giving Paige Bueckers and company a chance to pull off a win.
Even as the home team, the Wings were heavy underdogs. They entered the game with a 7-19 record, while the Liberty were 17-7.
Despite being the underdog, Dallas was able to pull out a huge upset win. Led by Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale, the Wings finished off the game with a 92-82 victory.

In a post on X, the Wings trolled New York. They used a rhyme to break down the game.
“upset hope you didn’t bet our net was too wet so sorry that Arike & PB are triple threats,” the post read.
Speaking of Bueckers, she put together a strong performance. She scored 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting, including 2-for-4 from the three-point line to go along with six rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
Ogunbowale, on the other hand, racked up 20 points as well on 7-for-15 shooting. In addition to her 20 points, she dished out 14 assists in the win.
On the other side of the floor, Jonquel Jones led the Liberty in scoring with 18 points. Sabrina Ionescu had a solid game, scoring 17 points to go along with five assists.

Clearly, the Liberty are the better team this season. Being able to pull off such an upset is great for the mood in Dallas and gives a preview of what could come in the future. With Bueckers and Ogunbowale leading the way, the Wings seem to be heading in the right direction.
While there is still a lot of work to do, Dallas should have another high pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Perhaps the Wings will be able to bring in another player to form a “big three” alongside their two current stars.
Either way, the win was a big one for Dallas and a disappointing loss for the Liberty. Taking the win to a trolling level on social media shows just how excited the Wings were. It will also motivate New York to get back on track.
