What happened: Damiris Dantas misjudged a 25-foot three-point jumper with 4:12 left in the second quarter, leaving the score at 33-37. The miss came during a tightly contested stretch of WNBA regular-season play on May 16, 2026.

Why it matters: Perimeter shooting from a stretch forward like Dantas is a swing factor in close WNBA games, and a miss in a four-point game shifts momentum on the margin. Dantas has been a frequent volume three-point shooter in recent games, fitting a broader pattern of bigs being asked to space the floor.

What to watch: Watch whether Dantas keeps launching from 25-plus feet or pulls back inside the arc in the second half. The four-point margin suggests the next three to four possessions will dictate the halftime swing.
