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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;big three&#8221; alongside their two current stars.<\/p>\n<p>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.
