WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch in WNBA: Dallas Wings at 4 and Counting
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of WNBA off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
As of this morning, six different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The teams stacking wins
The longest active run belongs to Dallas Wings: four consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Golden State Valkyries carry a 4-game winning run of their own.
Add Las Vegas Aces to the list too, 3 in a row.
Stuck in the barrel
The skid to watch belongs to Toronto Tempo, losers of four in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
It is not much prettier for Chicago Sky, losers of 3 straight.
And Connecticut Sun are quietly carrying a 3-game slide of their own.
At a glance
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Dallas Wings | won 4 straight |
| Golden State Valkyries | won 4 straight |
| Toronto Tempo | lost 4 straight |
| Las Vegas Aces | won 3 straight |
| Chicago Sky | lost 3 straight |
The fine print
The longest run on the board sits at 4 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
