What happened: Courtney Williams knocked down a 25-foot three-pointer off a Nia Coffey assist with 1:27 left in the third quarter. The make moved the score to 66-68, turning the sequence into a two-point game late in the period.
Why it matters: A made three in that spot can swing late-quarter momentum and put immediate pressure on the next possession. It also continued the same-game perimeter impact of Nia Coffey, whose earlier long-range make was already part of Wire's prior coverage.
By the numbers: Verified current context: Minnesota Lynx and Dallas Wings both entered May 15, 2026 at 1-1, per WNBA team pages.
What to watch: Watch the closing stretch of the third quarter and early fourth to see whether this shot starts a run or is answered immediately. The next few possessions will show whether the assist-shooting connection keeps generating clean looks.
