WNBA Streak Watch
WNBA Streak Watch, Dallas Wings's Run Hits 4
Published
Every result in WNBA feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
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.
Riding high
Dallas Wings have won four straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.
Golden State Valkyries carry a 4-game winning run of their own.
Las Vegas Aces join the party at 3 straight.
Stuck in the barrel
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.
It is not much prettier for Chicago Sky, losers of 3 straight.
Connecticut Sun have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
By the numbers
The full board, longest runs first:
| 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
A 4-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.
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.
