RT @nyliberty: Starting 🖐️ Presented by @newyorklottery 1️⃣8️⃣ Pauline Astier 2️⃣0️⃣ @sabrina_i20 1️⃣3️⃣ Leonie Fieb

What happened: Pauline Astier and Leonie Fiebich were again listed in the starting five Friday. The game was in progress at 22-19 at the latest update.

Why it matters: Astier and Fiebich were also announced together on Aug. 29, extending a pairing that has carried into the postseason. Keeping that combination in place points to continuity rather than a late pregame reshuffle.

By the numbers: In-progress score: 22-19. The Astier-Fiebich pairing was previously announced together on Aug. 29.

What to watch: Watch whether the starting group can swing the margin as play continues beyond the opening stretch.
