Dallas Wings respond to coach's public criticism with blowout win over Mystics
The Dallas Wings responded to coach Jose Fernandez's 'selfishness' call-out with a dominant win over the Mystics.
The Dallas Wings heard Jose Fernandez's message loud and clear. Four days after the first-year head coach publicly called out his team's "selfishness" three games into the season, the Wings responded with an emphatic 92-69 win over the Washington Mystics on Monday, May 18 to end a two-game skid. The Wings finished with a season-high 30 assists on 33 made field goals in the victory.
"It felt really good," said Paige Bueckers, one of five Wings players to finish in double-digits. "We played selfless tonight. Ninety-two points, we got out in transition and really moved the ball really well...
It was a really good response for our team. " Never gets old 😏 Azzi Fudd find Paige Bueckers and sets her up for three! WAS-DAL | NBCSN + Peacock Tap to watch: https://t.
