What happened: A give-and-go between Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale produced another clean scoring action. Bueckers was at 17 points, six rebounds and two steals, while Ogunbowale had 11 points, two rebounds and two assists.

Why it matters: The pairing matters in postseason play because it gives Dallas another way to create offense without relying on one guard for every late-clock touch. When both scorers are producing, defenses have less room to load up on Ogunbowale's shot creation or crowd Bueckers at the point of attack.

What to watch: Watch whether Dallas can keep getting the two guards into quick-hitting actions as the defense adjusts. Another Ogunbowale scoring run or a fresh Bueckers playmaking stretch would keep that pressure on.
