WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Dallas Wings Have Won 6 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.
Count them up and ten teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
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 6-game winning run of their own.
And Las Vegas Aces make it a crowd with 5 consecutive wins.
Going the wrong way
Toronto Tempo cannot find the exit: six 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 5 straight.
Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 5 in a row.
By the numbers
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Dallas Wings | won 6 straight |
| Golden State Valkyries | won 6 straight |
| Toronto Tempo | lost 6 straight |
| Las Vegas Aces | won 5 straight |
| Chicago Sky | lost 5 straight |
One more thing
At 6 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
Next up on the slate: Dallas Wings against Phoenix Mercury. Check back after that one goes final.
