What happened: Chelsea Gray reached double digits quickly, connecting on four of her first five field goal attempts. The veteran made both of her shots from three-point range to tally 10 early points in the matchup between Atlanta and Las Vegas.

Why it matters: Early perimeter scoring forces the defense to extend, opening up driving lanes and interior opportunities. When the outside shot is falling, the offensive spacing improves significantly for the rest of the rotation.

What to watch: Watch to see if the defense begins aggressively trapping her on the perimeter to limit further open looks.
