INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 Maddy Siegrist tied a career high with 22 points in her first start since June 6, Li Yueru added 20 points off the bench, and the Dallas Wings<\/a> held off the Indiana Fever<\/a> 81-80 on Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Paige Bueckers’ wraparound pass to Myisha Hines-Allen for a three-pointer gave the Wings a 78-61 lead with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter. But Dallas made only one more field goal the rest of the way \u2014 a three-point play by Yueru with 2:31 left.<\/p>\n

Indiana \u2014 again playing without Caitlin Clark (groin) who missed her 20th game this season \u2014 scored 13 straight points to begin a game-closing 19-3 run that Kelsey Mitchell capped with 33.4 seconds left on a tough shot in the lane. Bueckers missed a jumper from the free-throw line with 14 seconds left and the Fever grabbed the defensive rebound.<\/p>\n

Mitchell was surrounded at the other end leading to a timeout with 1.7 seconds left. Mitchell got the ball again, but her three-pointer from the corner hit the side of the backboard as time expired.<\/p>\n

Mitchell had 24 points and four three-pointers for Indiana (18-15). Natasha Howard had 12 points and 12 rebounds for her eighth double-double this season. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham each scored 14.<\/p>\n

Bueckers finished with 16 points and eight assists for Dallas (9-24), which had lost 11 of its last 13 games. Bueckers has scored in double figures in all 26 games this season. Arike Ogunbowale (right knee) did not play.<\/p>\n

The Fever also lost Aari McDonald (broken right foot) and Sydney Colson (torn left ACL) to season-ending injuries last week.<\/p>\n

Indiana trailed by 14 points in the first half before closing on a 9-0 run to tie it at 42-all at halftime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 Maddy Siegrist tied a career high with 22 points in her first start since June 6,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-65498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
