What happened: Alyssa Thomas sparked Phoenix with a backdoor feed to Kahleah Copper for a win. She posted 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in that postseason stretch.
Why it matters: Her half-court creation anchors late-game offense when possessions slow down. Her 5,000-point, 3,000-rebound, 2,000-assist career line is a WNBA first.
By the numbers: 30 career triple-doubles including playoffs; Jessica Shepard is next with 6, followed by Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark with 4 each.
What to watch: Watch whether Thomas adds to the triple-double tally as the postseason schedule continues.
