Paige Bueckers propels Wings to comeback win vs. Sun in Hartford

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Paige Bueckers so often single-handedly willed the Huskies to victory during her UConn career that "We have Paige Bueckers and they don't" became a common refrain around Storrs.

On Thursday evening in Hartford, the Dallas Wings had Bueckers, and the Connecticut Sun did not. With Dallas down double digits in the fourth quarter, she erupted with 11 points and did not miss a basket to propel the Wings to a 14-point comeback victory, 86-83 over the last-place Sun.

Asked postgame whether he relates to that sentiment, Wings coach Jose Fernandez took a moment to answer, smiling and nodding.

"I would totally agree with that statement," he said.
