GABBY WILLIAMS. AGAINNNN. GSV: 73 DAL: 72 TIME: 27.6 SECONDS https://t.co/QujoPZh1az Via @WNBA on X

What happened: Williams' late basket flipped the score from DAL 72, GSV 71 at the 1:40 mark to a one-point GSV edge with 27.6 seconds remaining in regulation. The play landed in a winner-take-the-final-semifinal-spot postseason game.

Why it matters: It was another closing shot from Gabby Williams, who scored 25 points in the previous GSV-DAL playoff game. With one basket separating the sides, the next possession carried season-ending stakes.

By the numbers: GSV swung the game by two points in 72.4 seconds, going from down 72-71 with 1:40 left to up 73-72 at 27.6. Wire Report also logged Williams tying GSV-PDX 77-77 to force overtime on Sept. 23 and putting GSV up 89-86 with 1:26 left on Oct. 1.

What to watch: The finish would turn on whether DAL could answer on its next trip or whether GSV could get one last stop.
