The Dallas Wings have lost four of their last six games with three of the losses on the road as they prepare to host the struggling Seattle Storm on Saturday.
Both wins for Dallas (5-5) in its last six games were against the Phoenix Mercury at home.
The Storm (2-7) are tied for last in the WNBA’s Western Conference with the Minnesota Lynx.
The Wings fell for the first time at home this season in Wednesday’s 79-61 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. They are now 4-1 at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
Satou Sabally, the Western Conference WNBA Player of the Week, posted her seventh straight double-double — a franchise record — with 14 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.
Sabally is averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game, almost double her clip from the past two seasons. She is also averaging a career-best 11.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals while shooting a career-high 43.0 percent from the field and 92.6 percent from the free-throw line.
The Wings shot 36.2 percent (25 for 69) from the field and had 17 turnovers in the loss to the Sparks.
Dallas coach Latricia Trammell was encouraged after listening to her players talk in the locker room after the game about adjustments necessary heading into their game with Seattle.
Seattle is coming off a 96-63 loss at the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night.
That was an improvement from a 105-64 loss at Las Vegas in the season opener.
Ezi Magbegor, a center in her fourth season in the WNBA, finished with 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block against the Aces.
Jewell Loyd leads the Storm with 23.8 points and 3.5 assists per game.
