Arike Ogunbowale ties WNBA single-game 3-point record

Ogunbowale was on fire the second she set foot on the court Sunday. The four-time All-Star set the tone early for the Wings, going off for 15 points on five 3-pointers in the first quarter.

Ogunbowale has a history of explosive performances from beyond the arc. It was only a little over a month ago that she won WNBA All-Star Game MVP after setting a scoring record with 34 points and eight 3-pointers.

Ogunbowale was in that same zone against the Fever, notching 24 points and six 3-pointers on nine attempts at the half.

Unfortunately for Ogunbowale and the Wings, her hot streak ran out after she tied the record with five minutes to play. The 27-year-old missed each of her last two 3-point attempts, settling for a share of the top spot in the WNBA record book.

Ogunbowale continued to prove that she is one of the most prolific scorers in the W today. Her 22.7 points per game are second to MVP favorite A'ja Wilson (27.5), and her 3.1 3-pointers made per game lead the league.

WNBA single-game 3-point record

Ogunbowale tied Loyd and Mitchell for the most 3-pointers in a single game in WNBA history.
