What happened: Bueckers heads into the first win-or-go-home game of her WNBA career after shooting 9-for-10 from the field in Game 1. She followed that with a double-figure scoring night in Game 2 and delivered the assist on Arike Ogunbowale's game-tying 3-pointer that forced overtime.

Why it matters: A do-or-die playoff game puts extra weight on Bueckers' shot creation and decision-making in late possessions. Ogunbowale's 45-point outburst already stretched the matchup to a decisive game, leaving little margin for a cold night from either scorer.

What to watch: Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2. The winner moves on, and the late-possession balance between Bueckers and Ogunbowale will be the first thing to watch.
