Streak Watch: Dallas Wings Have Won 6 Straight (WNBA)

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.

There are nine 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.

The win-column crowd

The longest active run belongs to Dallas Wings: six consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.

Golden State Valkyries carry a 5-game winning run of their own.

Las Vegas Aces join the party at 4 straight.

The skid to watch belongs to Toronto Tempo, losers of five in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.

Chicago Sky are on a slide of their own at 4 straight losses.

Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 4 in a row.
