What happened: Sophie Cunningham kept the play alive and found Aliyah Boston for a layup during Indiana's second-quarter push. The basket pushed Boston to 11 points in a winner-take-all Game 3.

Why it matters: Single-possession swings matter more in an elimination game, especially before halftime settles the rotation and foul picture. Indiana generating points off effort plays gave its offense a needed lift in a tight first half.

What to watch: Watch whether Indiana keeps feeding Boston inside as the game turns toward the second half. More second-chance sequences could decide whether the Fever keep their season alive.
