What happened: Myisha Hines-Allen was ejected in the fourth quarter, exiting with 7:49 remaining and the score 73-55. Her removal leaves her team without a key frontcourt piece for the closing stretch.
Why it matters: Losing a rotation forward to ejection late thins the interior and forces lineup adjustments down the stretch. With the deficit already at 18, the ejection compounds a difficult night and could carry into the next game depending on any league review.
By the numbers: At the time of the ejection the score stood 73-55 with 7:49 left in the fourth quarter, an 18-point margin.
What to watch: Watch for any league follow-up on the ejection and whether it affects her status or minutes in the next game.
