What happened: Williams delivered the top performance in a win-or-go-home Game 3, hitting clutch buckets in a game that stayed tight to the finish. She converted key looks late and helped swing the result in her side's favor.

Why it matters: Winner-take-all games leave little room for empty possessions, and Williams supplied the shot-making that mattered most. It also pushes the run by Gabby Williams deeper into the postseason.

What to watch: The next test is whether that late-game efficiency carries into the next postseason matchup. Defenses will have fresh tape on the actions that freed her for those closing shots.
