They know if they "cooperate" and work together offensively- passing the ball to each other, providing screens for the other player etc.-they can each score 12 points. If one player "monopolizes" the offensive game, while the other player "cooperates," however, the player who monopolizes the offensive game can score 18 points, while the other player can only score 2 points.
