What happened: Arike Ogunbowale worked into the paint and dropped in a floater during PHX-DAL. The sequence came in a nationally televised September matchup carried by CBS and Paramount+.
Why it matters: It added to a busy scoring stretch for Ogunbowale, whose offense has surfaced repeatedly in recent September coverage. Self-created looks from lead scorers tend to matter more once the postseason calendar tightens.
By the numbers: A contemporaneous reaction in the context pack had Ogunbowale at 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Wire Report also logged multiple Ogunbowale scoring plays earlier this week, including a made 3-pointer on Sept. 17.
What to watch: Watch whether Ogunbowale keeps getting to her floater spots as PHX-DAL moves into the later stretches.
