Sonia Citron TOUGH bucket at the halftime buzzer 🚨 https://t.co/RbU4wTIoW9 Via @espn on X

What happened: Citron took the final first-half possession and scored at the horn. The basket finished a 7-0 Washington push to close the second quarter.

Why it matters: The finish pulled Washington within six at halftime of Game 2 against Atlanta on ESPN. A six-point margin at the break resets rotations and late-clock assignments for the second half.

By the numbers: Washington closed the half on a 7-0 run. Citron's basket cut the deficit to six at halftime.

What to watch: The third-quarter open will show whether Washington extends the run. Atlanta's halftime adjustment on Citron is the matchup to track.
