What happened: Monique Billings turned a steal into a setup for Kelsey Mitchell, and the finish sliced the deficit to five. The play was selected as the State Farm Assist of the Game.

Why it matters: The sequence flipped a defensive stop into immediate offense, the kind of possession that can matter late in a postseason game. It also spotlighted Kelsey Mitchell as the scoring outlet on a play created by Billings.

What to watch: Watch whether similar transition chances keep trimming the margin as the game moves deeper into crunch time.
