Arike Ogunbowale gets ejected like a champ in 4th quarter of Wings win

Arike Ogunbowale may not have agreed with her ejection in the fourth quarter of a Dallas Wings victory, but she definitely did her best to enjoy it.

In the final minutes of the Wings' 85-73 win over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, Ogunbowale picked up two technical fouls and an automatic ejection while sitting on the bench. The two-time All-Star and former scoring champion opted to hype up the home crowd while walking off the court rather than argue her case.

She even signed an autograph midway through the standing ovation.

Ogunbowale's two technicals contributed to a record night of penalization for the WNBA. According to Elias Sports Bureau, both teams combined for 10 technical fouls, the most there have ever been in a regular season game.

Once Ogunbowale was gone, the crowd immediately began to boo the referee who kicked her out of the game. She finished with 21 points on 7-of-17 shooting (3-of-7 from 3-point range) with three assists, two rebounds and one turnover in a team-high 36 minutes.

After the game, she proactively declined comment on a matter that could easily result in a fine.

The win improves the Wings' record to 6-6 and snaps a three-game losing streak. Ogunbowale is currently averaging 23.4 points and 4.2 assists per game, with both on pace for career highs. She ranks third in the WNBA in both scoring average and 3-pointers made.
