Paige Bueckers' fourth-quarter heroics are clutch, but she'd prefer Wings not need them: ‘I hate that about us’

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers leads the WNBA with 138 fourth-quarter points across 19 games this season, surpassing Breanna Stewart (126 in 22 games) and Kahleah Copper (126 in 29 games). Despite her clutch performances, Bueckers expressed frustration with the team's tendency to trail heading into the fourth quarter, calling it 'a bad habit.' Speaking on the Yahoo Sports Hoops 360 podcast on July 16, 2026, she emphasized the need for the Wings to improve their consistency earlier in games as a championship-contending roster.
