Maddy Siegrist scores 22 and Dallas Wings hold on for 81-80 win over Indiana Fever
Paige Bueckers' wraparound pass to Myisha Hines-Allen for a 3-pointer gave the Wings a 78-61 lead with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter. But Dallas made only one more field goal the rest of the way — a three-point play by Yueru with 2:31 left.
Indiana — again playing without Caitlin Clark (groin) who missed her 20th game this season — scored 13 straight points to begin a game-closing 19-3 run that Kelsey Mitchell capped with 33.4 seconds left on a tough shot in the lane. Bueckers missed a jumper from the free-throw line with 14 seconds left, and the Fever grabbed the defensive rebound.
Mitchell was surrounded at the other end, leading to a timeout with 1.7 seconds left. Mitchell got the ball again, but her 3-pointer from the corner hit the side of the backboard as time expired.
Mitchell had 24 points and four 3-pointers for Indiana (18-15). Natasha Howard had 12 points and 12 rebounds for her eighth double-double this season. Aliyah Boston and Sophie Cunningham each scored 14.
Bueckers finished with 16 points and eight assists for Dallas (9-24), which had lost 11 of its last 13 games. Bueckers has scored in double figures in all 26 games this season. Arike Ogunbowale (right knee) did not play.
The Fever also lost Aari McDonald (broken right foot) and Sydney Colson (torn left ACL) to season-ending injuries last week.
Indiana trailed by 14 points in the first half before closing on a 9-0 run to tie it at 42-all at halftime.

Shaq accepts boxing match with man who 'chopped me in my neck'
Shaquille O'Neal, the former NBA superstar, says he's ready to lace them up. No, not high-top sneakers. Boxing gloves. O'Neal, 53, has accepted a celebrity fight with Charles 'Charlie Mack'' Alston, a former bodyguard for actor Will Smith and a figure in the hip hop industry who has indicated he is in his 50s. In an Instagram video challenging O'Neal to fight, Alston this week explained the two men have a beef dating back to an encounter years ago. 'We were in Dallas doing an autograph signing, and (O'Neal) came and tried to jump in front of the line,' Mack said. 'I chopped him in his neck so he could get back.'' During the interview, Alston sat next to Damon Feldman, CEO of Officially Celebrity Boxing O'Neal accepted the fight in the comments section of Alston's video then posted his own video on Instagram. 'Hey celebrity boxing and Charlie Mack, I accept,'' O'Neal said. 'You name the time and place, I'll be there. Diesel don't run from nobody.'' In the video, the 7-foot-1 Hall of Famer also referred to his beef with Alston. "You chopped me in my neck, Charlie Mack, that's why I talk so funny. Payback time," O'Neal said. 'You name the time and place, I'll be there. Diesel don't run from nobody. … You better check my police record, Charlie Mack." On Tuesday, Mack wrote on his Instagram page, 'So I call Big Fella @shaq out yesterday & he accepted as I knew he would!!!! We've been talking about it way too long, now we MUST get it ON!!!!!!!!'' The latest on Mack's Instagram: the image of a fight-style poster featuring O'Neal and Mack. O'Neal weighed about 325 pounds during his 19-year NBA career. Mack is about 6-foot-6 and 290 pounds, according to a rap song recorded by Will Smith when he was rapping as 'The Fresh Prince.'' 'Me and you, baby, super heavyweight,'' Mack said on the video, adding that he was calling O'Neal 'Sha-knocked out.' That's what you're going to be.'' Official Celebrity Boxing has promoted fights pitting Lamar Odom, the retired NBA All-Star, against Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez's first husband and Sabrina Parr, a former track and field athlete and ESPN Radio host, and Jenn Harley, whose relationship with her former boyfriend was a storyline in "Jersey Shore."

Gurriel and McCarthy lead Diamondbacks to 6-5 win over Guardians
PHOENIX (AP) — Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in three runs, Jake McCarthy hit a solo homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-5 on Tuesday night. McCarthy finished with two hits and Corbin Carroll tripled twice, his fourth game this season with two triples. Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez gave up four runs on five hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings. Juan Burgos (1-0) got one out to earn his first major league win. The 25-year-old rookie entered with two outs and a runner on first in the seventh, gave up a double to Angel Martínez and intentionally walked José Ramírez before pinch-hitter Kyle Manzardo grounded out to end the inning. Andrew Saalfrank pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save. McCarthy's homer opened the scoring in the third. Carroll tripled and scored on a groundout by Gurriel in the fourth. Carlos Santana singled to drive in José Ramírez and then scored on a single by Nolan Jones in the Cleveland fourth. Ramírez hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Tim Herrin (4-3) gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss. Key moment Geraldo Perdomo hit a one-out single and stole second base before Ketel Marte was intentionally walked in the seventh. Carroll reached and Perdomo moved to third on a forceout, and Nic Enright replaced Herrin. Carroll stole second and Gurriel singled to make it 6-4. Key stat Carroll leads MLB with a career-high 16 triples and is the first player with at least 16 in one season since José Reyes and Shane Victorino both had 16 in 2011. Up next Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt (12-8, 5.08 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday in the finale of a three-game series. The Guardians had not announced their starter. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: Week 11
Y'all mind if the Valks throw a fit real quick@rakuten - Arrivals Courtesy of WNBA Instagram The trade deadline had us all in shambles. Dijonai Carrington moved to the Minnesota Lynx, Emma Meesseman to the New York Liberty, and Jay Sherrod was waived from the Liberty just to be picked up by her former rival team, the Lynx. All this moving around leaves the league in flux and, more importantly, the fashion in disarray, too. Imagine moving from breezy Minnesota to a hot New York summer? That'd call for a wardrobe restyle. But on the plus side, we reach new heights and inch closer to the playoffs, which means we might see an influx of players out on injury, slowly come back into the playing field. We've already had Cameron Brink's status turned over; now we await Caitlin Clark's. But while we wait, we still want to turn our attention to this week's tunnel fits. And this week, they're all business. 10s across the board 🌟 Courtesy of WNBA Instagram There's been a lot of big talk surrounding the acquisition of the Connecticut Sun, and Olivia Nelson-Ododa looks like she's on the way to do the negotiation herself. Nelson-Ododa gets down to business in a form-fitting COS fluid double-breasted wool blazer paired with a crisp white button-down from Gap. She finishes the look with statement bottoms: Helmut Lang men's sheepskin leather shorts, and adds a pop of color with a fiery red BOTTEGA VENETA Andiamo small intrecciato leather clutch and custom shoes to match. all-league fits first team (1) Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Haven't you heard the news? Kahleah Copper just landed a spot on the League First Team All Fits, and trust, she's not riding the bench. Copper has consistently delivered fits, back to back, with a level of intention and style that makes it easy to forget this isn't her full-time job. She proves it yet again in what can only be described as a soft(er) punctual yet dandy fit. She wears a gingham double-zip track jacket and shorts from Open Air, paired with her often-worn and ever-controversial black Tabi loafers by Maison Margiela. Maddy Westbeld — Chicago Sky EAT EAT EAT 🍽️@redlobster - #skytown (1) Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Westbeld is channeling that recurring nightmare where you show up to work in just your underwear—only this time, it's intentional. And somehow, it works. Thanks to recent fashion references, the no-pants look is not only acceptable but deeply embedded into the zeitgeist of iconic fashion moments. Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2023 show made the agenda clear, reviving the no-pants moment while ushering in the return of the office siren aesthetic, which Westbeld meshes perfectly. And at least she threw on a jacket, it's practically enough for the Windy City. Angel Reese — Chicago Sky EAT EAT EAT 🍽️@redlobster - #skytown Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Following suit (figuratively) in a cropped trench, Angel Reese steps in to complete her teammate Maddy Westbeld's outfit—with actual bottoms. A Burberry cotton mini skirt, to be exact. Reese leans into an early fall color palette with a pair of suede open-toe boots from... the TikTok Shop? In a recent gameday OOTD, she mentioned how tough it is to find size 12 shoes—and apparently, TikTok came through. She finishes the look with a black Bottega Veneta Andiamo small intrecciato leather clutch and oversized Chanel sunglasses. Satou Sabally — Phoenix Mercury Two squads. One tunnel. All business. The @phoenixmercury and @indianafever just touched down fo Courtesy of WNBA Instagram You might've assumed, based on the earlier picks, that there was a preppy or suit-and-tie agenda being pushed in the W' — but Satou Sabally creates a quiet rift in the monotony. While everyone else is dressing up, Sabally is dressing down, in the best way: a cool, '90s Princess Diana kind of way. She wears the highly coveted Adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria poplin track top and matching bottoms. Chavarria, the Mexican-American designer behind the collab, recently debuted the now-iconic collection with Adidas not too long ago—and Sabally managed to get her hands on a rare colorway. Tiffany Hayes — Golden State Valkyries Adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria Poplin Tracktop Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Back to the suit and tie of it all. Hayes wears a school uniform inspired fit with a little edge, as she pairs an oversized blazer, teal tie, and tan pleated shorts with Tabi loafers. She would've definitely been written up, but style is a sacrifice for all. Jonquel Jones— New York Liberty Lookin' like a walking trophy 🏆🙂_↕️ Courtesy of WNBA Instagram More suit, but no tie. And this time, pink! It can feel as simple as it's written, but it's always nice to see athletes in a pop of color because sometimes the show (the tunnel) is about you. Jonquel Jones comes out in her Easter Sunday best—a salmon blazer, tailored pants, and a white tee. But the star of the show? The pink and blue mismatched Nike sneakers.
