Two games on Sunday's slate. Dallas built an early cushion against Toronto and held on through a physical, foul-plagued second half. And Indiana traded punches with Las Vegas through a tight first half before a dominant third quarter changed everything, riding balanced scoring and elite ball security to a comfortable road win over the Aces. Here's how it all went down.

Dallas Wings 89, Toronto Tempo 76

Dallas opened the game with a 30-19 first quarter and never trailed after that. Toronto chipped away across the second and third quarters, cutting the deficit down at multiple points, but Dallas's offensive rebounding and interior scoring kept the margin comfortable enough that Toronto never got the game within one possession in the fourth. Final: 89-76, Dallas.

Paige Bueckers ran the show for the Wings, going 9-of-16 from the field for 22 points at 63.5 percent true shooting with seven assists against two turnovers, an efficient 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Her ability to get into the paint (8-of-13 on two-point attempts) kept Toronto's defense off balance all night. Jessica Shepard posted a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds on 45.5 percent shooting, six of those boards coming on the offensive glass and generating six second-chance points on a perfect conversion rate. Azzi Fudd added 17 points on 6-of-16 shooting (5-of-11 from three), and Arike Ogunbowale chipped in 10 points despite a rough 4-of-13 shooting night. Dallas's 20 second-chance points on 53.8 percent conversion and their 23 points off Toronto's 14 turnovers were the two categories that mattered most.

Toronto competed hard but couldn't find enough consistency to close the gap. Nyara Sabally led the Tempo with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting with five assists, and Marina Mabrey added 19 points on 7-of-18 shooting (3-of-9 from three) with five assists of her own, though she finished at minus-19. Isabelle Harrison contributed 13 points and five rebounds, and Kia Nurse hit three of seven three-point attempts for 12 points off the bench. Toronto shot 34.5 percent from three as a team but generated only 20 percent conversion on second-chance opportunities (3-of-15), a significant gap compared to Dallas's efficiency in that category, and it was the possession battle that ultimately decided the game.

DAL 89 · TOR 76

Indiana Fever 84, Las Vegas Aces 68

Indiana and Las Vegas were separated by a single point after the first quarter, with the Aces holding a narrow edge, and the Fever carried just a one-point lead into halftime. Then the third quarter happened. Indiana blew the game open with a 26-14 frame that Las Vegas had no answer for. The Fever's ball security was the story of the night: just seven total turnovers against 18 team assists, a 2.57 assist-to-turnover ratio that reflects one of the cleanest offensive performances of the season for Indiana. Final: 84-68, Indiana.

Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 27 points on 7-of-18 shooting, drawing eight fouls and converting 10 of 12 free throw attempts, with three assists and a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. Her ability to get to the line repeatedly was the difference-maker whenever her jumper wasn't falling. Aliyah Boston posted a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds on 7-of-13 shooting (3-of-4 from three), adding two blocks and just one turnover. Lexie Hull contributed 10 points and four rebounds with two steals, and Sophie Cunningham hit three of five three-point attempts for nine points off the bench. Indiana shot 39.1 percent from three as a team and generated 13 second-chance points on 50 percent conversion.

Las Vegas held the edge after the first quarter but never found their footing once Indiana's third-quarter surge took hold. Jackie Young led the Aces with 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting but committed five turnovers, and Chelsea Gray struggled offensively, going just 2-of-11 from the field for 10 points despite six assists. NaLyssa Smith grabbed 10 rebounds for a near double-double but shot 3-of-8 for nine points, and Jewell Loyd added 12 points on 3-of-9 shooting. Las Vegas shot just 21.1 percent from three (4-of-19) and 40 percent from the field overall, and their 16.7 percent second-chance conversion rate (1-of-6) reflected a team that could not generate any extra possessions once the game got away from them in the third.

IND 84 · LVA 68

Sunday's two results reinforced how much ball security and offensive rebounding can define a game's outcome. Dallas's ability to control the glass against Toronto gave Bueckers and the Wings just enough separation to survive a spirited Tempo comeback attempt. And Indiana's disciplined offensive execution, seven turnovers all game, was the foundation for a comfortable road win over a Las Vegas team that struggled from three-point range all night.

Star of the Night: Kelsey Mitchell, Indiana Fever

27 points | 7-of-18 FG | 10-of-12 FT | 8 fouls drawn | 3 assists | 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio

Mitchell's shot wasn't always falling, but her ability to draw contact and convert from the free throw line kept Indiana's offense humming throughout a road win over a quality Las Vegas team. Twenty-seven points on a night where the outside shot wasn't consistent reflects a scorer who found other ways to be effective, and that adaptability made her the best player on the floor.

Dud of the Night: Chelsea Gray, Las Vegas Aces

10 points | 2-of-11 FG | 6 assists | 18.2% field goal percentage

Gray's six assists show she was still trying to make plays for others, but 2-of-11 shooting in a game Las Vegas lost by 16 reflects a night where she couldn't generate any offense of her own. In a game where the Aces needed every possible scoring option to keep pace with Indiana's efficient offense, Gray's inability to convert from the field was one of the most significant individual shortfalls of the night.
