What happened: Damiris Dantas knocked down a 26-foot three-point jumper on a feed from Tyasha Harris, pushing the score to 24-13 with 4:01 remaining in the first quarter. The deep make extended a double-digit advantage early in the game.

Why it matters: Early-quarter three-point production from a frontcourt player like Dantas stretches the defense and opens driving lanes for guards. Harris picking up the assist underscores the ball movement fueling the run, and an 11-point cushion this early shifts in-game win probability.

What to watch: Watch whether the trailing side calls timeout to stem the run and whether Dantas stays on the floor as a stretch-five threat. Harris's assist rate over the next stretch will signal how much the offense continues to flow through her.
