Arike Ogunbowale set a new career-high with 14 assists as the Dallas Wings defeated the New York Liberty on Monday night.

The Dallas Wings pulled off a surprise win Monday night, taking down the defending WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, 92–82. Leading the way was Arike Ogunbowale, who delivered a career-defining performance that rewrote the franchise record books.

The Dallas Wings pulled off a massive upset win over the New York Liberty on Monday night, winning 92-82. This game was basically over at halftime, as Dallas went into the locker room with a 63-36 lead. That was a big enough differential for the Wings to score just 7 points in the 4th quarter and still win by double digits.

Jonquel Jones had 18 points for the Liberty (17-8), who were playing without Breanna Stewart because of a right leg injury and lost their second straight.

The Dallas Wings could be active ahead of the August 7 WNBA trade deadline. They could move key players to punt the season or retool the roster to compete for a playoff spot behind All-Star guard Paige Bueckers. The Wings, who own an 8-19 record, the third-worst in the league, could likely go for the former instead of the latter.

Paige Bueckers and Chris Koclanes shared positive remarks about Ogunbowale, who has come under criticism this season for her performance.
