Paige Bueckers continues to walk on air after securing her first WNBA victory with the Dallas Wings, beating the Connecticut Sun 109-87.

The youngster contributed six points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals to her team, but that wasn’t the only thing she took home after the game.
In a post on their official Instagram accounts, they shared a fun moment showing that their rivalry is only because they are on different teams. Their bond remains intact.
Paige shared a photo from the official @connecticutsun account where they are seen very close and laughing together. “The sisterhood,” wrote the team. Paige showed her affection and gave Olivia a fun nickname: “Livvypoh” she wrote, adding an emoji of hands forming a heart.
