Before tip-off Saturday night, Dallas Wings head coach Latricia Trammell listed her keys to a much-needed win over the Connecticut Sun when speaking to the media. To snap the team’s three-game skid, Dallas needed to set the tone early regarding physicality, limit turnovers, and initiate their inside-out strategy right from the start.
Despite a late run from the Sun, the Wings executed their game plan to near perfection, giving way to their first win over Connecticut this season, 91-81. Dallas is the only team in the WNBA to claim victories over the Sun, defending champion Las Vegas Aces, and New York Liberty.
