Three WNBA games, three very different outcomes. Dallas held off Chicago by a single point, Las Vegas controlled Golden State in a 19-point win, and Washington went into Minnesota and came away with an 84-79 victory.
The June 21 slate delivered both late-game tension and separation. The Wings’ 93-92 win over the Sky was the night’s narrowest margin, while the Aces’ 92-73 result over the Valkyries stood as the clearest display of control.
Dallas Wings W 93, Chicago Sky W 92
Dallas protected home court in the most dramatic game of the night, beating Chicago 93-92. The one-point margin defined a matchup where every possession carried weight late.
For the Wings, the result was less about distance and more about execution under pressure. In a game decided by the smallest possible margin, Dallas did enough to finish, turning a narrow edge into a home win.
Chicago left with little separation from a different outcome. The Sky were within one point at the final horn, but Dallas’ ability to survive the final stretch decided the game.
Las Vegas Aces W 92, Golden State Valkyries W 73
Las Vegas produced the most comfortable win of the slate, defeating Golden State 92-73. The Aces created the night’s largest margin and never allowed the final score to resemble the one-possession tension seen elsewhere.
The 19-point gap reflected a game tilted firmly toward Las Vegas. Against a Golden State side looking to keep pace, the Aces generated enough separation to remove late-game volatility from the equation.
For Las Vegas, it was a clean result: a home win, a strong scoring output and a defensive finish that kept Golden State in the low 70s.
Washington Mystics W 84, Minnesota Lynx W 79
Washington closed the slate with an 84-79 road win over Minnesota, one of the more notable results of the day given the setting. The Mystics went into Minnesota and finished five points clear.
The final margin pointed to a competitive game, but Washington’s closing edge made the difference. Road wins in tight contests often come down to poise, and the Mystics had enough of it to hold off the Lynx.
Minnesota kept the game within reach, but Washington’s 84 points were enough to carry the night and secure the away result.
Nightly Takeaway
The slate offered a sharp contrast in game scripts. Dallas and Washington won games defined by late margins, while Las Vegas delivered the night’s most emphatic performance.
Across all three matchups, home teams went 2-1, with Washington standing as the lone road winner. Dallas and Las Vegas handled business at home, but the Mystics’ win in Minnesota gave the night its road statement.
