ARLINGTON, Texas — Satou Sabally had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Natasha Howard added 24 points, and the Dallas Wings beat the Las Vegas Aces 93-90 on Tuesday night despite A’ja Wilson’s 42-point performance.
Dallas (8-22), which was coming off a 113-110 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday, secured its second two-game winning streak of the season. The Wings also snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Aces.
Sabally sank a 3-pointer while being fouled and completed the four-point play to tie it at 79-all midway through the fourth quarter.
Arike Ogunbowale made two free throws with 35.8 seconds left to give Dallas a 91-90 lead. After a timeout, Jackie Young missed a jumper from the free throw line and Teaira McCowan secured her 17th rebound.
