The Los Angeles Sparks beat the Dallas Wings 81-80 on Kelsey Plum’s buzzer-beater as Paige Bueckers scored 44 points.

Wings guard Paige Bueckers tagged the Sparks for 44 points Wednesday night, tying the league's rookie scoring mark as her team fell just short in an 81–80 loss to Los Angeles. Sparks guard Kelsey Plum's buzzer-beating floater was the difference.

Plum is on pace to match Taurasi with two such seasons and turns 31 later in August (Taurasi turned 31 in June of the season she FIRST notched 20-plus and five-plus feat). So since we know her averages, it’s no surprise that Plum tied the WNBA record for most 20 and five games in a single season with her 18th of 2025 on Sunday.

Wednesday marks the start of a four-game homestand with 10 contests left, with the Sparks one game behind for the eighth and final postseason spot.

Under the agreement, all Wings games that are not designated for national television will be available for free over-the-air on KFAA (Ch. 29) in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A select number of games could also air on WFAA (Ch. 8).
