What happened: Kahleah Copper extended her opening run from six points to 10 before WAS scored.
Why it matters: The fast start gave PHX immediate control with a chance to cut the season-series gap to 2-1. A loss would leave PHX in a 3-0 hole.
By the numbers: Copper accounted for 100% of PHX's scoring at the update.
What to watch: Watch whether WAS can slow Copper and erase the early deficit.
