In the first playoff game of their first-round matchup, Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers demonstrated her readiness for the postseason by scoring her first-ever points in the WNBA playoffs. The 24-year-old guard made her presence known early in the first quarter of the game against the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center. Bueckers, who had her season-ending knee injury behind her, scored a three-pointer off a simple set in the opening possession.
This early three-pointer not only boosted Bueckers' confidence but also gave the 20.9-point, 4.1-rebound, 5.9-assist, and 1.0-steal per game regular season player a hot start. Despite Bueckers' awareness of the increased pressure and stakes in the playoffs, she delivered a solid performance, scoring 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including 2-of-2 from long distance, and grabbing five rebounds as of this writing, the Wings were trailing the Valkyries 58-31.
