This win marks just the Wings\u2019 eighth victory this season, and it came against the top team in the Eastern Conference, making the result all the more impressive.<\/p>\n

Bueckers delivered an all-around stat line with 20 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. But what really made the difference was her efficiency, her \u201csecret sauce\u201d for success. She shot an impressive 58.3% from the field and knocked down 50% of her three-point attempts, providing Dallas with a consistent offensive spark throughout the game. She has set a new WNBA rookie guard record for the most games with 20-plus points and two or more steals.<\/p>\n
