dallasweekly.news chose Arike Ogunbowale for Player of the Night after her season-high 32 points carried the Dallas Wings past the Indiana Fever 91-85.

ESPN's box - matched by CBS Sports - shows Ogunbowale 12-for-22 from the field, 2-for-6 from three, 6-for-7 at the line, two rebounds, three assists, one steal, 35 minutes.

The Associated Press cast the game as a night when Caitlin Clark (10 points, 4-for-15, nine assists) and Paige Bueckers (13, 5-for-16, eight assists) could create but not shoot, combining for 9-for-31 after 29-point nights apiece in Indiana's 98-87 win six days earlier.

Mitchell's 37 was not enough

Kelsey Mitchell scored 37 with 21 before halftime, went 4-for-7 from three and 15-for-15 at the line, and set a WNBA record with a 21st straight game of 20-plus points, the AP reported. Jessica Shepard's career-high 26 gave Dallas a second scoring column; she and Ogunbowale combined for 58 points.

ESPN's quarters: Indiana 22-18 after one; Dallas 24-20, 24-19, 25-24 the rest of the way. The AP said a five-game Fever winning streak ended. ESPN had Dallas at 21-16 and Indiana at 24-13.

The AP added that Indiana missed a first chance at a franchise wins record (still 24) and that Dallas had won only four of 12 since a six-game streak, in its first game after announcing Azzi Fudd's season-ending right-knee surgery.

Van Alstyne's Player of the Night summary, after dallasweekly.news, is 32 at home when Mitchell's 37 and two cold stars still could not steal the result.
