What happened: ESPN's play-by-play feed logged a Courtney Williams jump shot attempt, a 27-foot three-pointer that missed with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter. The score sat at 8-6 at the time of the attempt.

Why it matters: A single missed early-quarter three is routine in the flow of a WNBA game and rarely moves a result on its own. Williams' willingness to pull from 27 feet is notable shot-selection data given how deep three-point attempts factor into pace and spacing for her offense.

What to watch: Watch whether Williams keeps hunting deep threes after the miss and how that shapes her usage as the first quarter develops.
