When the Dallas Wings (9-9) and Las Vegas Aces faced off Wednesday in Las Vegas, Dallas held multiple double-digit leads before ultimately falling 89-82. Forward Natasha Howard – who finished Wednesday’s contest with 32 points and 13 rebounds – made a promise ahead of Friday’s rematch.
“They’re gonna feel us again on Friday, but even more,” Howard said.
Less than 48 hours later, Howard knocked down two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining to seal an 80-78 win over the league-best Aces. Vegas came into the match fully charged with All-Star guard Kelsey Plum back after her absence Wednesday, but Dallas stayed resilient.
