The Dallas Wings<\/a> are heading home on a happy flight after a 81-80 win against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n

Although Caitlin Clark was rumored to possibly return to the court for the Fever, she sat once again as she recovers from a groin injury. The Fever certainly could have used her as the Wings claimed the upset.<\/p>\n

The Fever had a chance to win the game in the final possession, but Kelsey Mitchell missed a 15-foot jumper to close out the game.<\/p>\n

The Wings<\/a> got off to a 21-9 lead early in the first quarter, but the Fever found an opportunity to chip away and ended the first half in a tie with Dallas.<\/p>\n

The game was tied with 3:43 left in the third quarter, but the Wings finished the frame on a 15-3 run to take a double-digit lead into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

While the Fever pressured the Wings late, Indiana never reclaimed the lead and Dallas walked away with victory.<\/p>\n

The Wings were led by Maddy Siegrist, who scored a team-high 22 points. No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers complemented her with 16 points and eight assists while center Li Yueru dropped 20 points off the bench.<\/p>\n

For the Fever, Kelsey Mitchell scored a game-high 24 points with six rebounds. Natasha Howard finished with a double-double scoring 12 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham added 14 apiece while Chloe Bibby had 11 off the bench.<\/p>\n

For the Wings, it’s their ninth win of the season in what has been a tough campaign. However, a win is certainly a step in the right direction as they develop their young core in the stretch of the year.<\/p>\n

The Wings are back in action on Friday when the Los Angeles Sparks come to town. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n
