In a battle featuring the top two picks from April's WNBA draft, Paige Bueckers got the best of Dominique Malonga in the box score.
But Malonga's Storm picked up the win Monday night as Seattle overcame a strong effort from Bueckers for a 76-71 win over the Dallas Wings. Victor Wembanyama and Dirk Nowitizki were in the building to watch the rising young WNBA stars.
Bueckers finished with 17 points, eight assists, six rebounds and two steals in her second-ever WNBA game, besting a 10-point, seven-rebound effort in her WNBA debut on Friday.
