"nahhhhhh who died and left you in charge?!!!" Carrington wrote.
Both Carrington and Bueckers put in strong performances against the Sky, but their efforts ultimately fell short. The duo each scored 15 points and made notable contributions on the defensive end as well. They'll have a chance to bounce back and settle the score on Saturday when the Wings host the Sky in a highly anticipated rematch in Dallas.

DiJonai Carrington recently opened up about her relationship with rookie Paige Bueckers, revealing that the two share similar personalities. The former Connecticut Sun guard noted that she’s built a strong connection with the No. 1 overall pick and feels they’ve blended seamlessly both on and off the court.
"She is a great young lady, great personality, we mesh well," Carrington said. "Our personalities are similar. We both are lighthearted. I think just having that rapport on the court, always helping you on the court because you're able to talk to each other and only having the best for you... I'm glad to have that relationship."
