Overview
- Arike Ogunbowale scored a WNBA playoff-record 45 points and hit an off-balance corner three in the closing seconds to force overtime in Dallas’s 108-100 win.
- The tying 3 came after officials reversed an offensive-foul call on Gabby Williams and changed what would have been free throws into a jump ball with about three seconds remaining.
- Dallas outscored Golden State 15-7 in overtime and Ogunbowale opened the extra period with a banked three and later a go-ahead triple that sealed the lead.
- Referees assessed flagrant 1 fouls to Tiffany Hayes and Ogunbowale during an on-court altercation in overtime, and Dallas got key support from bench scorers Alysha Clark and Aziaha James.
- The win evens the first-round series 1-1 and sends both teams to a winner-take-all Game 3 on Friday at Chase Center with the victor advancing to the semifinals.
