What happened: Chelsea Gray got Las Vegas on the board first, using a snatch crossover to create separation before burying a three-pointer for the game's opening bucket against Golden State.

Why it matters: Gray remains the Aces' steadying hand and shot-creator, and an early triple from their lead guard sets a confident tone for the offense. It continues a stretch of sharp perimeter shooting from the same Chelsea Gray who recently tied the WNBA single-game record with nine 3-pointers.

What to watch: Watch whether Gray's early rhythm carries into a bigger scoring night and how Golden State adjusts its perimeter defense against her pick-and-roll game.
