Notable Storylines ‚

Arike After All-Star... Dallas Wings seventh-year guard Arike Ogunbowale has been on fire since the Wings returned from the All-Star break. Over the last five games, Ogunbowale has averaged 17.2 points and 5.2 assists while shooting 47.7-percent from the field and 37-percent from three. In the 20 games prior to the break, she shot just 34.6 percent from the field and 30.5 from deep, scoring 15.7 points per game and dishing 4.0 dimes. Her shooting percentage pre-All-Star ranked 139th in the league, while her clip following All-Star skyrocketed to 44th. Her assist average went from 18th to 11th, while scoring went from 18th to 13th.

Parike... Dallas Wings guard duo Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale, affectionately called "Parike," have been one of the highest scoring duos in the WNBA since the All-Star break. The Wings are one of just three teams to have multiple players averaging 17 or more points per game, with Ogunbowale averaging 17.2 and Bueckers at 18.0. Only Los Angeles (Plum, Hamby) and Las Vegas (Wilson, Young) also have multiple players average 17 or more per game following the break.

Another One For the Record Book... Arike Ogunbowale matched the Wings franchise record for assists in a game with her 14 dimes in Monday's win over the reigning WNBA Champions New York Liberty. Ogunbowale had 15 points and 10 assists by halftime, becoming the first in franchise history and just the third WNBA player to record a points-assists double-double in a single half. The Notre Dame grad also became the only player in league history to score at least 20 points, dish at least 14 assists and record one or fewer turnovers, as she finished the night with just one miscue.
