Arike Ogunbowale made sure Dallas would see Friday. She scored a WNBA playoff-record 45 points, hit the tying three with 4.1 seconds left in regulation and buried two more in overtime as the Wings beat the Golden State Valkyries 108-100 to force a deciding Game 3.
Golden State had moved ahead 93-90 on two Gabby Williams free throws with 14.6 seconds remaining, but Ogunbowale answered from the corner. She opened overtime by banking in a three and later hit another to put Dallas ahead for good at 103-100 with 1:46 left, and the Wings took the extra period 15-7. Williams finished with a career-high 36 points and a season-high seven assists. Kaila Charles scored seven points in 61 seconds to close the third quarter and finished with 14 before fouling out in overtime. The lead changed hands 15 times.
