VERONICA BURTON FOR THE LEAD!!! IT'S 67-65 IN BALLHALLA! Via @valkyries on X

What happened: Golden State erased Dallas' 44-37 halftime deficit and moved ahead late at Ballhalla. Veronica Burton supplied the go-ahead basket as the Valkyries took control.

Why it matters: The first-round series entered Game 3 tied 1-1, leaving the final semifinal berth on the line. A late two-point edge turned a game that had leaned Dallas' way at the break.

By the numbers: Dallas led by seven at halftime before Golden State turned it into a 67-65 advantage. The playoff series was even at 1-1 entering the decider.

What to watch: Watch whether Golden State can finish the comeback in the closing minutes. The semifinals are scheduled to start Sunday.
