What happened: Chelsea Gray and her mother worked through a pregame handshake before Las Vegas's matchup against Phoenix on Saturday, needing a second attempt to get it right. Tipoff was 6 p.m. ET, broadcast on Peacock and NBCSN.

Why it matters: The moment lands in the middle of a high-profile stretch for Gray, who hit the go-ahead shot in overtime against the Aces' rivals on July 4 and delivered a nine-3-pointer night earlier this summer, keeping her a fixture of Las Vegas's late-game moments this season.

What to watch: Las Vegas continues its slate as the WNBA regular season moves toward the All-Star break.
