Paige Bueckers backed her teammate after Arike Ogunbowale struggled in her return, offering a contrast to her coach’s more critical tone.

It was a game to forget for veteran guard Arike Ogunbowale, who made her first appearance since late June after being sidelined for two weeks with an injury to her left thumb. In her return to action, shots simply weren't falling for the 28-year-old, who went 0-for-10 from the field and had just two points across 28 minutes.

Wings rookie Paige Bueckers received another impressive honor as she was named the WNBA's Rookie of the Month for June.
