Ogunbowale, playing for Team WNBA, scored 26 points to lead Team WNBA to a 93-84 win over Team USA — all while, at the same time, live-tweeting the game.
Nine of those 26 points came in the fourth quarter, including a clutch four-point play that gave Team WNBA a six-point lead with under six minutes left to play.
