Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale set a new WNBA All-Star game record of 34 points while Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese set rookie records as they helped lead Team WNBA to a 117-109 win over Team USA on Saturday in Phoenix.
All Ogunbowale’s 34 points came in the second half, with 21 in the third quarter, as Team WNBA overturned a four-point deficit at half time to defeat Team USA as it prepares for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
Ogunbowale’s scoring exploits earned her a second All-Star MVP award in front of 16,407 fans at Footprint Center.
“Coach (Cheryl Miller) actually called me out at halftime in front of everybody was like, just take a deep breath and play your game,” the 27-year-old said after the game. “I guess you guys saw what happened.”
Ogunbowale is the fourth player in league history with multiple All-Star game trophies.
