What happened: Clark shot 55.9% from the field and 50.0% from 3 during the run; Mitchell posted marks of 56.2% and 51.9%. Clark also averaged 8.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Why it matters: The split burden behind the four-game surge reduces dependence on a single scorer. Defenses must manage Clark's creation and Mitchell's shooting at the same time.

What to watch: Watch whether opposing defenses can slow one scorer without freeing the other.
