Paige Bueckers scored 25 and Jessica Shepard posted her sixth triple-double as Dallas beat Seattle 103-91, clinching the WNBA’s No. 7 playoff seed and a record turnaround season. Coverage continues to develop across major outlets as editors weigh confirmation thresholds against the speed of the news cycle.
The Dallas Wings closed the regular season with a 103-91 win in Seattle, clinching the No. 7 playoff seed after Atlanta beat New York earlier, AP via TSN reported.
Paige Bueckers scored 25, Arike Ogunbowale 23, and Jessica Shepard had 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists—her WNBA-leading sixth triple-double. Dallas finished 27-16, a 17-win improvement that set a league turnaround record after a 10-win prior season.
Seattle finished 8-36. Accounts agree on the seed and record; bracket openings versus higher seeds remain the next debate.
Officials and independent outlets continue updating confirmed details as they become available. NewsHabit’s card sticks to multi-outlet confirmation for this edition and notes where accounts still diverge, without projecting outcomes that the published record does not yet support. Readers should treat timed deadlines, hearings, and launch windows as live until a second independent outlet confirms a change.
Both sides of contested claims are preserved in the agreement and conflict fields so the homepage card does not collapse disagreement into a single narrative voice.
