Arike Ogunbowale

Even when the possession is over, Arike Ogunbowale keeps fighting. The Dallas Wings guard’s tenacity was rewarded after a Seattle Storm defensive rebound as she first dislodged the ball from the grasp of Gabby Williams before hitting the hardwood to grapple with Mercedes Russell for control of a loose ball. The three-time Dallas All-Star concluded the hustle sequence by winning the battle with Russell and bouncing a pass to a cutting Teaira McCowan for two hard-earned points. Ogunbowale was productive on both ends, tallying a team-high 27 points and five 3-pointers to go with three rebounds, four assists and four steals in her team’s 76-65 road win on August 2, 2023.
