WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Dallas Wings Have Won 4 Straight (WNBA)
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.
There are six clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.
Riding high
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 are building a case of their own at 4 straight.
Las Vegas Aces join the party at 3 straight.
The skids
Toronto Tempo cannot find the exit: four consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
It is not much prettier for Chicago Sky, losers of 3 straight.
Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
The board
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 |
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.
Next up on the slate: Dallas Wings against Los Angeles Sparks. Check back after that one goes final.
