ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Paige Bueckers scored 20 of her 26 points in the
first half, Arike Ogunbowale had 22 points and six assists, and the Dallas

Aziaha James made a key steal down the stretch and Bueckers was fouled with 9.7

Dallas (26-16) passed New York and Washington for sixth place in the WNBA
