What happened: The burst came in the opening game of a four-game Sunday league slate. NBA TV carried the MIN-ATL matchup.
Why it matters: The 25-14 side entered six games behind the league-leading 31-8 club. Gray's shooting provided an early response two days after a 101-83 loss.
By the numbers: Gray's five makes were 2.8 times her 2026 average of 1.77 per game and exceeded her total in each of her previous 10 outings.
What to watch: Watch Gray's final 3-point total and whether the early barrage shapes the result.
