Kahleah Copper scores 16 of her 31 in 4th quarter and the Mercury rally past the Wings 87-86

Dallas (26-17), which led by as many as 14 points, had a six-game winning streak snapped with its first loss since Aug. 17. The Wings remain tied for sixth place in the WNBA standings.

Bueckers scored 30 points to go with seven assists, and Jessica Shepard had 17 points and 19 rebounds for Dallas. Bueckers, who reached 30 points for the fourth time this season, set a Dallas record for points in a season with 853.

Dallas guard Arike Ogunbowale sank a baseline jumper — just her second basket of the game — with 1:43 left in the fourth for an 81-77 lead. After Phoenix scored the next four points to tie it, Bueckers was left open on the wing for a shot from well behind the arc for an 84-81 lead.
