Paige Bueckers’ homecoming in Minneapolis didn’t quite go as she might have hoped.
Bueckers and the Dallas Wings dropped their third straight game to open the new WNBA season on Wednesday night. While they mounted a bit of a comeback late, the Minnesota Lynx held on to grab the 85-81 win at the Target Center, which spoiled Bueckers’ first professional game back in her hometown.
The Wings came out hot on a 15-5 run on Wednesday, though that almost immediately fell apart. The Lynx responded with a 16-3 run of their own to take control of the game right back by the end of the first quarter.
