Azzi Fudd finally had her breakout game in the WNBA, and she did so by breaking a record previously held by her Dallas Wings<\/a> teammate, Paige Bueckers.<\/p>\n Fudd, the No. 1 overall pick at the 2026 WNBA Draft, led the Wings to a 91-76 win over the New York Liberty<\/a> at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.\u00a0<\/p>\n She came off the bench and stunned the Liberty with a 24-point performance on 9-of-15 shooting, including six three-pointers in 32 minutes of action. It was the most prolific three-point showing by a Wings rookie in a game.<\/p>\n Bueckers, who tied the franchise record in 2025 after hitting five triples against the Phoenix Mercury, had no problem seeing Fudd break it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was probably only a matter of time before she got going and got hot from the 3-point line,\u201d Bueckers said in a postgame interview, via WNBA on NBC and Peacock<\/a>. \u201cSo, yeah, records are meant to be broken, and I\u2019m happy she got that one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bueckers was not too shabby herself in the Liberty game, as she fired 24 points on 7-of-13 shooting with a couple of made baskets from behind the arc in 36 minutes.<\/p>\n Dallas seems like a team on the rise with Bueckers leading the attack and Fudd gaining more confidence each passing game.<\/p>\n The Wings, who won just 10 games in 2025, are now 4-3 through seven games in the 2026 campaign, and they will look to sustain their form on Thursday versus the Las Vegas Aces at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
