The Dallas Wings rookie explained that she recognized the situation, but with the clock winding down, she had no option but to heave a desperate shot."I saw they were switching everything, didn't get separation so tried to put something up at the buzzer," Bueckers told reporters.Bueckers has struggled mightily from beyond the arc in clutch situations this season. Among all WNBA players with at least 10 clutch 3-point attempts, she has the lowest percentage, connecting on just 16.7% of those shots, a glaring area in need of improvement. Despite the inefficiency, she has been heavily relied upon, attempting the third-most clutch shots (27) in the league.That said, Bueckers still turned in a solid overall performance against the Atlanta Dream. She played 35 minutes and tallied 21 points on 8 of 20 shooting, including 3 of 7 from deep. The rookie point guard also added two rebounds, seven assists and one steal, ending the game with a neutral plus/minus.
