COAST-TO-COAST AND-1 👏 Breanna Stewart picks it clean, takes it the other way and finishes through contact for the and-

What happened: Stewart picked off the ball, went end to end and finished through contact for an and-1. The sequence came during the WNBA's 2026 postseason stretch.

Why it matters: Transition plays like that compress two possessions into one burst, a swing that matters more once playoff games slow down. It also extended a sharp September run for Stewart after her World Cup MVP performance last week.

What to watch: Watch whether Stewart keeps creating extra possessions in transition as postseason games tighten. Those margin plays tend to carry more weight deeper into a series.
