“We’re headed in the right direction,” Smith said. “We just got to put a couple more pieces together, but I think it will all work out. We got 40 games left, so no need to panic.”
The Dallas Wings' upcoming few games will give them a good opportunity to collect some wins as they face the Connecticut Sun (0-4) on Tuesday before their back-to-back against the Chicago Sky (0-3).
Similar to the Wings, these are the only other teams to remain winless this season, and seem to display a worse performance compared to Dallas.
