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.
