Dallas Wings Take Flight in Thrilling Season Opener Victory over Chicago Sky

The Dallas Wings soared to a season-opening victory on Wednesday night, edging out the visiting Chicago Sky 87-79 at a sold-out College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. The win marks a strong start for the Wings, who displayed resilience and clutch play down the stretch. The game was a close battle throughout, with both teams trading baskets. Chicago even held a 10-point lead late in the first quarter. However, the Wings chipped away at the deficit and entered halftime trailing by just three points. The third quarter saw a more even contest, with neither team able to establish a significant advantage. The tension escalated in the final frame, as the score remained tied with just over three minutes remaining. This is where the Wings’ Arike Ogunbowale truly took flight. The All-Star guard scored 14 of her game-high 25 points in the fourth quarter, including a clutch three-pointer with 31 seconds left that put Dallas up by eight points.
