Arike Ogunbowale is one of the most electric scorers in the WNBA, and she has the record to prove it.
The guard recorded her 41st consecutive double-figure scoring game Thursday night against the Dream, setting a Wings franchise record.

While the Dream’s scoring was too much to overcome for the Wings’ defense in the 101-95 loss, Ogunbowale was a bright spot, scoring 24 points. Her triple with 14.5 seconds left to bring the Wings within four showcased her fighting spirit.
Ogunbowale, the WNBA’s scoring leader in 2020, is averaging 23.2 points per game on 40.3 percent shooting through Dallas’ first four games.
