Australia's Liz Cambage had 43 points and 13 rebounds as the Dallas Wings beat the Las Vegas Aces 107-102 to clinch the final WNBA playoff spot and end a nine-game losing streak.
It ended a turbulent stretch for Dallas, giving interim coach Taj McWilliams-Franklin her first victory.
The Wings hadn't won since July 19, leading to the firing of coach Fred Williams on Sunday.
Skylar Diggins-Smith made a contested layup to give Dallas a 102-97 lead and after a Las Vegas miss, Cambage converted a three-point play.
Cambage had 23 points and seven rebounds in the first half and she scored her 40th point on a layup with 3:38 to go.
