What happened

Alex Wilson pulled up from 26 feet and missed the three-point attempt with 4:52 left in the second quarter. The score stood at 33-37 at the time of the shot. The miss preserved the four-point margin heading deeper into the period.

Why it matters

Every possession matters in a single-digit game, and a clean look from beyond the arc is a swing opportunity either way. Wilson's willingness to launch from 26 feet signals confidence in the range, even on a miss. Cold stretches from deep are often what separate buyers and sellers on live totals in the WNBA.

What to watch

Watch whether Wilson continues hunting catch-and-shoot threes the rest of the quarter, and whether the trailing side closes the gap before halftime.
