What happened: Allisha Gray recorded a chase-down block in transition early in the LAS-ATL matchup to halt a fast-break opportunity. The contest is being televised nationally on USA Network.

Why it matters: This contest marks the first regular-season meeting of 2026 between the two clubs as both teams compete for positioning ahead of the upcoming All-Star break. For the same Allisha Gray who surpassed 4,500 career points earlier this month, the defensive effort reinforces her two-way value following her selection to the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game.

What to watch: Watch for rotation adjustments over the remainder of the LAS-ATL broadcast on USA Network. Both squads will look to build momentum heading into the upcoming 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game.
