Dallas Wings Postgame Interview: Arike Ogunbowale & Odyssey Sims vs. LA Sparks | July 19, 2026 [hkNILkPCYcm]
Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale and guard Odyssey Sims speak with reporters following Dallas' 90-82 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, in front of a sellout crowd of 6,251 on Inspiring Women's Night. Ogunbowale led the Wings with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 2 steals, closing the game with a string of late baskets after Los Angeles cut into Dallas' lead. She discusses maintaining the lead down the stretch, the Wings' 10th clutch win of the season — the most in the WNBA — and how the team no longer panics in close games the way it did earlier this year. Sims added 7 points and 6 assists off the bench in 16:57, breaking down the second unit's chemistry heading into a stretch of three games in four days. Both players touched on Dallas' sixth straight win, locking in defensively in the fourth quarter, and preparing for the Wings' first back-to-back of the season Monday at the New York Liberty. Jessica Shepard posted a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds and 6 assists, Paige Bueckers added 25 points before exiting late in the game, and the Wings improved to 17-8. The Sparks fell to 10-15. Subscribe to Dallas Hoops Journal for Dallas Wings and Dallas Mavericks coverage and our full coverage on DallasHoopsJournal.com.
