LOS ANGELES (AP) — Arike Ogunbowale scored 20 points, Monique Billings had a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds and the Dallas Wings edged the Los Angeles Sparks 84-83 on Sunday night.

Cameron Brink, the second overall draft pick this year, had a career-high 24 points for the Sparks with three 3-pointers and three blocks despite playing just 24 minutes because of foul trouble. Dearica Hamby scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, Brown scored 12 and Li Yueru had 10 and nine rebounds, both career highs for the 6-foot-7 rookie from China.
