Wings Drop Playoff Game 1 at Golden State, 104-80; Game 2 Wednesday

-

Must-win energy starts now in Arlington.

The seventh-seeded Dallas Wings fell 104-80 to the second-seeded Golden State Valkyries in Game 1 of their best-of-three first-round series Sunday in San Francisco. Golden State led 58-31 at half after a 37-11 second quarter and went 18-of-36 from three.

Paige Bueckers led Dallas with 21 points on 9-of-10 shooting and six boards — ferocious individually, not enough help. Cecilia Zandalasini scored 22 for Golden State; Gabby Williams had 20; Tiffany Hayes added 21 off the bench. The Valkyries have now beaten Dallas in all four 2026 meetings.

Game 2 is Wednesday in Dallas (College Park Center / Arlington area slate), with Game 3 if needed Friday back at Chase Center. The Wings closed the regular season winning seven of eight to grab the seven seed. Now they need that same closing punch at home.

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness.
