Paige Bueckers dropped 25 and made it look easy. Kid's got ice in her veins already.

LA's got Nneka but no real second scorer showed up. That's why they're sitting at 10-15.

Jessica Shepard quietly went for 14 boards and 6 dimes. Did all the dirty work in the paint nobody talks about.

The recap
Dallas handled business at home, taking down the Sparks 90-82 to move to 17-8. Paige Bueckers was the story, dropping 25 and running the show all night.
Jessica Shepard did the dirty work with a 14-board, 6-dime double-double effort in the paint. Nneka Ogwumike kept LA breathing with 17 and 10, but they just didn't have enough buckets to steal one on the road.
