WNBA Streak Watch

WNBA Streak Watch, Dallas Wings's Run Hits 4

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 win-column crowd

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.

Behind them, Golden State Valkyries have quietly won 4 in a row.

Las Vegas Aces join the party at 3 straight.

The skids

On the other side of the ledger, Toronto Tempo have dropped four straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.

Chicago Sky are on a slide of their own at 3 straight losses.

Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 3 in a row.

At a glance

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

One more thing

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.

Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.
