Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings have now dropped two of their last three games, falling to 4-13 on the 2025 WNBA season.

On Friday night, the Indiana Fever handed the Wings a 94-86 loss in front of a sold-out crowd at American Airlines Center.

The Fever won despite Clark missing a second consecutive game with a groin injury. The All-WNBA guard has missed seven games in total this year.

Despite the loss, Bueckers had an impressive game, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the first half. The former UConn star finished with 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting, six assists, two steals and two blocks. She also didn't have a single turnover with 36 minutes of playing time.

In doing so, Bueckers becomes the only player in WNBA history to record a game with 25 or more points, five or more assists, two or more steals, two or more blocks and zero turnovers, per PolymarketHoops.

This is not the first time Bueckers has made league history. In fact, in Sunday's loss to the Washington Mystics, the rookie passed Clark to become the fastest WNBA player to reach 200 points and 50 assists, doing so in 11 games.

Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever in scoring in Friday's win, putting up 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting and seven assists. Aliyah Boston added 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting and six rebounds. 

Meanwhile, Arike Ogunbowale tallied 15 points for Dallas.

The Fever led for most of the first three quarters, but Bueckers helped the Wings surge ahead midway through the fourth after trailing by double digits. Still, Indiana took control down the stretch and came away with a comfortable eight-point win.
