The Chicago Sky look to snap a four-game losing streak when they travel to play the enigmatic Dallas Wings on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n

Chicago (4-10) heads to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex after a 96-95 home loss to the New York Liberty on Wednesday. Sydney Taylor led the Sky with 24 points but missed a potential game-winning jumper at the buzzer after putting Chicago ahead with a 3-pointer with 15.6 seconds to play.<\/p>\n

Gabriela Jaquez added a career-high 22 points in Wednesday\u2019s setback, with Skylar Diggins hitting for 19, Natasha Cloud scoring 11 and Kamilla Cardoso tallying 10 points.<\/p>\n

The past two losses for Chicago have been in OT on the road versus Indiana and by a point on Wednesday. The Sky have dropped nine of their past 10 contests.<\/p>\n

Taylor, an undrafted rookie from Louisville, is shooting a team best 70.7 % within five feet of the basket but is managing only 28.6% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my career, college career, I\u2019ve gotten in trouble just being too flashy or doing too much,\u201d said Taylor, who was 4 of 6 in the paint in Wednesday\u2019s loss. \u201cSo just trying to keep it simple, do the little things that will keep me on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wings (9-6) return home after an uneven 91-80 loss to Golden State in San Francisco on Wednesday. Arike Ogunbowale scored 21 points to lead Dallas, which has alternated between wins and losses over its past six games.<\/p>\n

Dallas led early on Wednesday before giving up 19 straight points in the second quarter and scoring just seven in that period. The Wings clawed back to within a bucket at the end of the third,but the Valkyries dispelled a Dallas rally in the final quarter.<\/p>\n

Paige Bueckers added 15 points and a game-high eight assists for the Wings in defeat, with Jessica Shepard adding 14 points and 10 rebounds and Azzi Fudd scoring 10 points.<\/p>\n

The Wings would match their win total from last season, when they finished 10-34, with a victory on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we know how good we can be, how good we\u2019re capable of being,\u201d Fudd said. \u201cYou\u2019ve seen glimpses of that and to kind of have a taste of that definitely motivates everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shepard continues to be a key contributor for Dallas. She has amassed 10 double-doubles on the year, tied with the Atlanta Dream\u2019s Angel Reese for the most in the league, and has recorded the league\u2019s only two triple-doubles this season.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s clash is the second of three meetings between the teams this year. The Wings earned a 99-89 win at home in the first game on May 20, with the third contest set to July 12 in Chicago.<\/p>\n
