Dallas Wings TAKE DOWN Indiana Fever | Playoff Race + Players Setting the Bar Aug 21, 2026

The Dallas Wings got a HUGE 91-85 win over the Indiana Fever — and it took much more than Paige Bueckers to get it done. Arike Ogunbowale exploded for a season-high 32 points, Jessica Shepard dropped a career-high 26, and Awak Kuier made history with a franchise-record 7 blocks.

Show notes

The Indiana Fever just delivered one of their biggest wins of the season — beating the Atlanta Dream 95-91 in overtime — and are making a serious case as one of the WNBA’s top five teams.

Caitlin Clark & Kelsey Mitchell Are the WNBA’s BEST Backcourt Duo | Can the Aces Repeat ? Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are making a serious case for being the best backcourt duo in the WNBA. The Fever picked up an impressive 106–92 win over the Liberty, with Mitchell scoring 28 points and Clark adding 22 points and 10 assists. Indiana also knocked down 16 threes and showed why this duo is becoming such a nightmare for opposing defenses.

We also break down how the Las Vegas Aces can repeat as WNBA champions. From keeping A'ja Wilson at the center of everything to getting Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young healthy, making the Jewell Loyd addition pay off, improving their offensive versatility and winning the non-A'ja minutes, Vegas has several keys to solve before the playoffs.

Plus, we preview tonight's matchups:
🏀 Chicago Sky vs. Golden State Valkyries
🏀 Toronto Tempo vs. Dallas Wings
🏀 Minnesota Lynx vs. Portland Fire

Which team has the biggest statement to make tonight—and can anyone stop the Lynx?
