Alysha Clark’s 21 points and Aziaha James’ 13 helped Dallas extend its first-round playoff series beyond Arike Ogunbowale’s record-setting performance Wednesday. The Wings now return to Chase Center for a deciding Game 3 against Golden State on Friday, October 2.

Tipoff is 8 p.m. Central on ESPN2. The series stands at 1–1 after Dallas won 108–100 in overtime at College Park Center on September 30.

Clark and James combined for 34 points in that victory. Ogunbowale scored a WNBA playoff-record 45, including the tying three-pointer with 4.1 seconds remaining in regulation and 11 points in overtime. The contributions from Clark and James were part of the scoring support around that historic night.

Friday moves the matchup back to a venue where the Wings lost Game 1, 104–80. Golden State has won all three of Dallas’ visits to Chase Center this season, while the Wings are seeking their first semifinal appearance since 2023.

The winner advances to face Las Vegas, which eliminated Indiana on October 1. Game 1 of that semifinal series is scheduled for Sunday, October 4.
