June 18, 2022 by ArizonaSports.com - 98.7 FM

ARLINGTON (AP) — Arike Ogunbowale hit six 3-pointers and finished with 24 points, Teaira Cowans had season highs of 17 points and 10 rebounds and the Dallas Wings beat the Phoenix Mercury 93-88 Friday night.

Tina Charles had 27 points and nine rebounds for Phoenix (6-10) and Skylar Diggins-Smith added 21 points and a season-high 10 assists. Diamond DeShields scored 14 points and Shey Peddy and Diana Taurasi each hit three 3-pointers and scored nine points.
