What happened: Ogunbowale shot 12-of-23 from the field, added seven rebounds and carried Dallas through an overtime win. The result kept the season alive and pushed the series to a winner-take-all Game 3.
Why it matters: Dallas gets another chance to turn an elimination spot into a series escape. Ogunbowale's record total also showed how much a short postseason series can swing on one elite scoring night.
By the numbers: Ogunbowale finished with 45 points, seven rebounds and five made 3-pointers in 42 minutes. Dallas needed overtime to extend the series, and the extra possessions helped turn a must-win night into a record-setting one.
What to watch: Game 3 now decides whether Dallas can complete the turnaround. The next question is whether Ogunbowale can carry similar volume again after a 42-minute workload.
