On Monday, the Dallas Wings beat the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup 96-66, handing the Aces their first loss in the cup this season. Rookie guard Azzi Fudd was among the contributors to the win and spoke about the huge 30-point victory post-game.
The Wings broke the Aces' six-game winning streak as well with this win, and the 2026 No. 1 Pick was on fire, scoring a thumping 19 points and dishing out an assist as well. Fudd later spoke about the team's performance.
"This game felt great, I mean, the atmosphere in here- the fans were incredible; they really showed up tonight," Fudd said accordingto a post by USA sports on X.
Fudd talked about how the game had an amazing atmosphere, with fans cheering and supporting them. She also praised her team's great performance. She further addressed how strong the Wings are at this stage of the season and how lethal they can be if they play together.
"And then we played great team basketball. I mean you saw tonight what we're capable of," she said. "We were hitting shots, the ball was moving side-to-side, our defense was great. We were just super locked in and played together, and when we do that we're unstoppable."
While Fudd dropped a stunning performance herself, her teammate, guard Arike Ogunbowale, scored 22 points, dished out seven assists, had four rebounds, and made two steals.
After such a dominating performance against the defending champions, the Wings now boast a decent record. Fudd has also been helpful for the team.
