What happened: Golden State surged late in the third quarter and turned the game into a one-possession fight entering the fourth. Dallas and the Valkyries are playing on ESPN2 for the last place in the WNBA semifinals.

Why it matters: The winner-take-all setup leaves little margin for either side as one late run can end a season. The series reached this spot after Dallas and Golden State split the first two games.

By the numbers: A 7-0 burst with 1:37 left in the third quarter fueled Golden State's push.

What to watch: Watch whether Dallas can stop the run at the start of the fourth or whether Golden State can turn the swing into the clinching stretch.
