Arike Ogunbowale Sets WNBA All-Star Scoring Record with 34 Points
Ogunbowale Leads Team Wilson to Victory
Dallas Wings Guard Earns MVP Honors
PHOENIX -- Arike Ogunbowale has made history at the WNBA All-Star Game, setting the new scoring record with an impressive performance that led her team to victory. The Dallas Wings guard poured in 34 points, surpassing the previous mark of 30 set by Maya Moore in 2015.
Ogunbowale exploded in the third quarter, torching Team USA for 18 points and helping Team Wilson secure a comfortable lead. Her offensive prowess was on full display, with the 25-year-old showcasing her explosive drives, accurate shooting, and ability to create her own shot.
Despite Ogunbowale's record-breaking performance, Caitlin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes came tantalizingly close to making history herself. The young guard dished out 12 assists, falling just one short of matching Ticha Penicheiro's all-time record. Clark's playmaking abilities were a key factor in Team Wilson's success, as she orchestrated the offense with precision and set up her teammates for easy baskets.
For her exceptional performance, Ogunbowale was named the WNBA All-Star Game MVP. The award capped off a remarkable evening for the Dallas Wings guard, who has established herself as one of the league's most dynamic and exciting players.
