Paige Bueckers Dallas Wings Game

Arlington, TX (May 23, 2025) – The Dallas Wings will look for their first win of the season as they face the Atlanta Dream on Saturday. The game is set to tip off at 2 p.m. CT at Gateway Center, and will be broadcast nationally on CBS Sports Network and locally on KFAA29.

Despite their 0-3 record, the Wings have shown signs of improvement over the past week. They recently lost a tight match against the Minnesota Lynx, ending the game 85-81. Rookie Paige Bueckers earned her first career double-double with 12 points and a game-high 10 assists. Additionally, Arike Ogunbowale scored a team-high 21 points, making history by matching Diana Taurasi‘s record for the fastest player to reach 500 made three-pointers in WNBA history, achieving the feat in 198 games.

The Atlanta Dream, currently at 1-2, are coming off a narrow 81-76 defeat against the Indiana Fever. Rhyne Howard was a standout for the Dream, leading her team with 24 points. The Dream previously won against Indiana earlier in the season, showcasing their competitive edge.

This matchup features two exciting young stars: Bueckers and Howard. Both players are looking to make significant impacts this early in the season. The Wings and Dream are both adapting to new coaching strategies, with Atlanta focusing on a three-point-heavy offense under head coach Karl Smesko, while Dallas is still finding their chemistry with a young roster.

The game promises to be thrilling as both teams are eager to gain momentum. Following Saturday’s contest, the Wings will travel to Connecticut for another game on Tuesday at 6 p.m. CT. Fans can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network, and local coverage will be available on KFAA29.
