Wings' Paige Bueckers sets Azzi Fudd up early and often in lopsided win originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It didn't take long for Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd to find themselves on the same page Monday night.
They stayed there for most of the Dallas Wings' dominant, overwhelming 79-56 win over the Seattle Storm as part of the WNBA Commisioner's Cup.
Fudd scored the very first basket of the game off an assist from Bueckers:

Fudd then put in her next two baskets off Bueckers assists, too.
Only the final bucket for Fudd came from elsewhere, an Alanna Smith setup.
The Wings didn't score super efficiently, but they held Seattle to 20-for-61, which meant that the Dallas offense did enough.
Fudd finished with nine points on 4-for-7 from the floor, including 1-for-4 from 3. She added just one rebound.
Bueckers did it all, scoring 10 points (4-12 FG), grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out seven assists.
As it turns out, four of the Wings' five starters had nine points, including Fudd, and Bueckers had her 10.
They got 18 off the bench from Aziaha James in 18 minutes, which really put this game away.
But for the fans that have followed Paige and Azzi for a long time, there were some cool moments of overlap here, for sure.
