WNBA ALL-STAR TEAM vs USA WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM(TEAM USA) SUMMARY-UPDATES:

^{Rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese teamed up to lead the WNBA All-Stars to a win over Team USA, which is headed to Paris soon. Arike Ogunbowale won MVP of the game.}

^{PHOENIX — Arike Ogunbowale set the WNBA All-Star scoring record with 34 points and Caitlin Clark made the most of her All-Star debut as the WNBA team Won Against the U.S. Olympic team 117-109 on Saturday night.It was the second consecutive win for the WNBA All-Star team over the Olympians. The All-Stars also won in 2021 led by Ogunbowale, who was MVP of both that game and this one.}

That loss was the only one that the Americans had in 2021 en route to winning their seventh consecutive Olympic gold medal. The U.S. hopes for the same results in Paris later this month. No team in the world could match the depth or talent that the WNBA All-Stars had.Saturday’s loss came hours after the U.S. men’s Olympic team rallied to beat South Sudan by one point in an exhibition game in London.

The U.S. will next play Germany in London for an exhibition game Tuesday before going to France for the Olympics. The Americans are in a pool with Belgium, Japan and Germany.

Ogunbowale once again was a thorn in the side of the U.S. team, scoring all of her points in the second half. The 2021 All-Star MVP took over the game in the third quarter scoring 21 points, hitting six of her 10 shots, including five 3-pointers.

 The U.S. team threw everything at the Dallas Wings star but they just couldn’t stop her.Ogunbowale has been in the U.S. national team pool for the past two Olympics, but didn’t make the roster either time. She pulled her name out of the pool of players early this time around saying the whole process was political.

By the time Ogunbowale was done in the third quarter, the WNBA All-Stars had turned a two-point halftime deficit into an 88-79 lead. She broke Jewell Loyd’s overall All-Star scoring record of 31 set last year with a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter.

The Olympians, who have only practiced together for two days, never really threatened. Breanna Stewart scored 31 points and A’ja Wilson added 22.There was so much hype and energy around this All-Star Game with the debuts of phenomenal rookies Clark and Angel Reese. The pair have helped lift the WNBA to new heights this season with record attendance and viewership.
