It is no secret that the Dallas Wings have endured a difficult season. The Wings are rebuilding. Despite the success of rookie Paige Bueckers, Dallas holds a lackluster 9-26 record as of this story's writing. However, there is far more to the story than simply underperformance.

Bueckers' 44th point to tie the record was a technical free throw in the final minute that put the Wings ahead 80-79. However, Kelsey Plum hit a buzzer-beater from just inside the free-throw line with a pop shot that banked in off the glass, and the Sparks won 81-80.
