- Paige Bueckers paced the offense as a playmaker with a near triple-double of 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
- The win improved Dallas to 6-3, gave the franchise its first victory in this year’s Commissioner's Cup and extended a three-game winning streak following earlier midseason struggles.
- Monday’s result shows how Dallas is converting depth and defense into wins and suggests the team could rely on bench scoring and ball movement over the 44-game season.
