Arike Ogunbowale scored a season-high 32 points and Jessica Shepard chipped in a career-best 26 points, helping Dallas overcome a 37-point performance by Indiana's Kelsey Mitchell in leading the Wings to a 91-85 victory on Thursday, snapping the Fever's five-game winning streak.

Mitchell made all 15 of her free throws and extended her WNBA record of consecutive games scoring at least 20 points to 21 contests before the game even went to half, converting a layup with four seconds to go, giving her 21 points.

Ogunbowale then took over, scoring 15 points in the third quarter and another 10 in the fourth period to lead the Wings (21-16) to their first victory in four games.

Caitlin Clark had 10 points and nine assists and Paige Bueckers had 13 points and eight assists, but each struggled with their shooting, as Clark was 4 of 15 from the floor with Buckers going 5 of 16. This came just six days after each scored 29 in Indiana's 98-87 win.

Aliyah Boston had 14 points and nine rebounds and Makayla Timpson had 11 points and 12 boards for the Fever (24-13), who kept things close by going 24 of 26 from the foul line.

The Wings, however, dominated down low, holding a 46-28 advantage on points in the paint and Awak Kuier set a team record with a career-best seven blocked shots to go with 11 points and eight rebounds.

Dominant Dream set franchise scoring record in emphatic win over Sparks

Rhyne Howard scored 26 points and Angel Reese set a Dream record by making all nine of her field goal attempts as Atlanta rolled to the franchise's most points in a game in a 124-88 thrashing of the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Dream (23-13) shot 61.5 per cent from 3-point range (16 of 26), led by as much as 42 and fell just one point shy of matching the WNBA record for points in a regulation game.

Reese finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds for her league-high 25th double-double and recorded just the third 20-point, 10-rebound game with no missed field goals in WNBA history. Four of her boards came on the offensive end, as she also set a WNBA single-season record for offensive rebounds.

SHE NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION

Perfect from the floor, the league's offensive rebound record holder, and the first player in WNBA history to have 15/5/5 on 100% FG in a first half.

The Sparks (12-24), meanwhile, lost a sixth in a row, matching their longest skid of the season.

Cameron Brink led Los Angeles with 14 points, Rae Burrell scored 12 and Nneke Ogwumike tallied 11 points one day after announcing she would retire after this season.

Big second half helps Aces defeat Sun again

Jackie Young had 24 points, A'ja Wilson scored 20 and the duo sparked Las Vegas' decisive second-half charge to help the Aces pull away for a 101-78 victory over the Connecticut Sun for their 11th straight win in the series.

With Las Vegas trailing 52-50 in the opening minutes of the third quarter, Young and Wilson accounted for all of the points during the Aces' 16-0 run, with Young draining three 3-pointers and Wilson scoring seven points.

Las Vegas (25-13) then opened the fourth period on a 12-2 run and coach Becky Hammon was able to rest Young with the Aces in control.

Cheyenne Parker-Tyus contributed 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench for Las Vegas, which won for the first time in four games.
