‘This is going to help’: US Olympic team upbeat after defeat to WNBA All-Stars
by Associated Press from US news | The Guardian on (#6PCCE)
- Arike Ogunbowale sets scoring record in 117-109 win
- Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese team up for first time
- Olympic team will play Germany in London on Tuesday
The US may still have the best team at the Olympics, but at the All-Star Game, they didn't have all the best players on Saturday night.
Arike Ogunbowale was the dominant scorer on the floor, Caitlin Clark was the best passer and Angel Reese was her usual double-double machine as the WNBA All-Star team beat the US Olympians 117-109.
It was the second consecutive win for the WNBA All-Star team over the Olympic team. The All-Stars also won in 2021 led by Ogunbowale, who was named the MVP of both games. On Saturday, Ogunbowale set the All-Star scoring record with 34 points and Clark fell just short of the assist mark in her All-Star debut.
