What happened: Nia Coffey knocked down a 24-foot three-pointer with 8:10 left in the third quarter, assisted by Courtney Williams. The make pushed the score to 51-46 in a tight WNBA regular-season matchup.

Why it matters: Mid-quarter triples in a five-point game shift momentum and can swing live on totals and quarter spreads. Williams continues to facilitate offense as a primary creator, while Coffey's perimeter shooting adds spacing value off the ball.

What to watch: Watch whether the team can extend the run before the next media timeout and how the opposing coach responds defensively. A second three could force an early timeout.
