Paige Bueckers has a gift for rising when the stakes are highest. Away in Seattle with the Wings locked in an overtime battle against the Storm, Bueckers poured in 17 of Dallas's final 24 points, reaching the 1,000-career-point milestone in the process and tying Elena Delle Donne for the fourth-fastest player in WNBA history to hit that mark, doing so in just 52 games. Teammate Azzi Fudd delivered the go-ahead basket with 13.2 seconds left in OT, and the Wings survived 112-110 to improve to 11-6, a title-contender on the rise.
