SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Odyssey Sims scored 20 points to help Dallas end a 11-game losing streak with a 92-84 victory over the San Antonio Stars on Friday night.

Skylar Diggins added 16 points for the Wings, who took control early with an 11-0 run and were up 28-16 after one quarter as Aerial Powers scored five points in the last 24 seconds. It was a 10-point game at the half and the Stars never got closer than eight in the fourth quarter.

The victory was the 100th of coach Fred Williams' career and helped the team earn its first victory since July 5.
