The question is whether backcourt star Arike Ogunbowale will be part of Dallas’ future as the franchise rebuilds back into a playoff team.

Ogunbowale scored a game-high 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting and recorded a career-high 14 assists, a franchise record. While rookie Paige Bueckers also shined against the Liberty — she shot 7-of-12 for 20 points and added four assists — the phenom said the story of Monday night’s game should be about Ogunbowale.
