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
Dallas Wings just keep stacking, four wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Golden State Valkyries carry a 4-game winning run of their own.
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 have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
The board
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| 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 |
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.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
