What happened: The record-breaking sequence occurred during a semifinal matchup between Las Vegas and Golden State, broadcast on NBC and Peacock. Chelsea Gray claimed the league's top spot when she found Wilson to finish through a foul.

Why it matters: The accomplishment underscores her standing as one of the premier orchestrators in WNBA playoff history. It also provides Las Vegas with a crucial offensive spark as the franchise pursues another championship.

By the numbers: Gray entered the semifinal round with 409 career postseason assists, trailing only Alyssa Thomas (410). With this performance, she officially overtakes Thomas for the all-time lead. She is one of only two players in league history to pair at least 300 postseason assists with 800 points.

What to watch: Las Vegas will look to maintain its offensive rhythm as the semifinal series continues.
