Talia Von Oelhoffen was in Phoenix on Saturday to watch Angel Reese and Team WNBA face Team USA in the All-Star Game. The USC Trojans guard was excited to see the first team-up of the “Chi Barbie” and Caitlin Clark. Oelhoffen didn’t go home disappointed as the league selection, behind Arike Ogunbowale’s electric performance, beat the Olympians 117-109.

On Sunday, Von Oelhoffen shared on X, formerly Twitter, that she witnessed more than just history in the said game. She proudly posted this:

“My Cash App is about to be fully loaded up Shout out @Reese10Angel”

The Chicago Sky rookie responded:

“I’m glad I won you some money because girl I still got your Versace glasses from last night”

Based on Angel Reese’s reply, it was obvious that she spent some time with Talia Von Oelhoffen after the game. The former LSU star wasn’t selected to play in the Olympics so she is getting roughly a month of rest. It wouldn’t surprise many if she went to a party together with teammates and Von Oelhoffen.

Reese had a historic performance in the win against Team USA. She became the first rookie to record a double-double in WNBA All-Star Game history. The Sky forward came off the bench to score 12 points and haul down 11 rebounds in 18 minutes of action. She undoubtedly played a big part in the USC guard winning a bet.

Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, Allisha Gray and Arike Ogunbowale led Team WNBA’s win over Team USA

Talia Von Oelhoffen should be thankful to a handful of Angel Reese’s Team WNBA teammates. Caitlin Clark went 0-for-7 from deep but she handed out 10 assists along with two steals. She didn’t have her touch but orchestrated the team’s plays well.

Allisha Gray also got the league selection to stay within striking distance of the Olympians before Arike Ogunbowale torched the Paris-bound team.

Ogunbowale had zero points in the stat sheet after the first half ended. In the next 20 minutes, she erupted for 34 points, the most in WNBA All-Star Game history. She had 21 third-quarter points which nearly equaled Team USA’s 26 points in the same period. From trailing 54-52, the Dallas Wings star pushed Team WNBA to an 88-79 lead.

Angel Reese kept pushing Arike Ogunbowale to shoot while Caitlin Clark looked for her every time. Ogunbowale’s 27-footer off Clark’s pass had the crowd going wild.

Besides Reese, Clark, Ogunbowale, and Gray should also get a shout-out from Talia Von Oelhoffen.
