WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Dallas Wings Have Won 5 Straight (WNBA)
Published
Somebody is always rolling and somebody is always spiraling, that is what makes a league a league. Here is the current WNBA streak board, longest runs first.
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 five 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.
Las Vegas Aces carry a 4-game winning run of their own.
And Golden State Valkyries make it a crowd with 4 consecutive wins.
The skids
The skid to watch belongs to Chicago Sky, losers of four in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
Toronto Tempo have dropped 4 in a row themselves.
Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 4 in a row.
By the numbers
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Dallas Wings | won 5 straight |
| Las Vegas Aces | won 4 straight |
| Chicago Sky | lost 4 straight |
| Golden State Valkyries | won 4 straight |
| Toronto Tempo | lost 4 straight |
Worth remembering
A 5-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.
Next up on the slate: Dallas Wings against Phoenix Mercury. Check back after that one goes final.
