Jessica Shepard Just Made History
If you blinked, you might have missed it. Jessica Shepard just tore the roof off with a historic triple-double, catapulting the Dallas Wings to a 95-87 victory over the 2025 champs, the Las Vegas Aces. This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. Shepard racked up 22 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists like she was writing a love letter to the game.
Aces Left Reeling
The Aces might have strutted into the season with championship swagger, but last night, they looked more like they were stuck in a defensive nightmare. A’ja Wilson, with 21 points, tried to salvage something from the wreckage, but even she admitted, “It’s frustrating because we know what we are capable of on the defensive end.” And Aces coach Becky Hammon didn’t sugarcoat it either: “Our defense sucked.” It’s the kind of raw honesty that tells you just how far the Aces fell from their pedestal.
Dallas Is Everyone’s Problem Now
The Wings, now bolstered with five wins, are climbing the standings like it’s their job. With a backcourt duo like Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, who combined for 42 points, Dallas is no longer the team you put on the back burner. And let’s not forget Fudd, who shone in her first career start.
