On Dallas' final possession of regulation, Arike Ogunbowale missed a 3-pointer and Teaira McCowan grabbed the offensive rebound before missing another shot.

Atlanta started strong in overtime with Rhyne Howard making a 3-pointer with three minutes left for a six-point lead. Tina Charles put Atlanta ahead 104-96 on a hook shot in the lane after her team grabbed three offensive rebounds on one possession.

Rhyne Howard matched Angel McCoughtry's 30-point streak after making 12 of 26 from the field, including 6 of 17 from 3-point range. Charles added 20 points, 13 rebounds and four assists.

Allisha Gray also had a 3-pointer in overtime to finish with 19 points for Atlanta. Naz Hillmon added 18 points and Jordin Canada had 15 points and 10 assists.

Natasha Howard had 24 points, eight rebounds and five assists for Dallas (9-25). Ogunbowale added 22 points and eight assists, and Satou Sabally and McCowan each scored 18. McCowan also grabbed 11 rebounds for a double-double.
