MINNEAPOLIS — Arike Ogunbowale is still looking to find her rhythm in the 2025 WNBA season, but she took a big step forward on Wednesday night in Minneapolis. Although the Dallas Wings were defeated by a final score of 85-81 in a loss to the Minnesota Lynx, Ogunbowale led Dallas with 21 points.

Interestingly, All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale earned such recognition on Wednesday when she matched a Taurasi record in the Dallas Wings' showdown with the Minnesota Lynx. According to the WNBA, Ogunbowale tied Taurasi "for the fastest player to reach 500 career 3PM" in league history.

The team may need time to gel with No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers, new head coach Chris Koclanes and other returning players.

Dallas Wings veteran Arike Ogunbowale matches the great Diana Taurasi in three pointers made in the fastest time.

Napheesa Collier had 28 points and eight rebounds to lead the Minnesota Lynx to their second victory over the Dallas Wings in five days, an 85-81 decision that spoiled the homecoming for first overall draft pick Paige Bueckers on Wednesday night.

Paige Bueckers scored 10 points in her WNBA debut with the Dallas Wings, but was no match for Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx.
