What happened: With 2:31 showing on the fourth-quarter clock, Nneka Ogwumike missed a 27-foot jump shot. The unsuccessful perimeter attempt left the score unchanged at 92-87 heading toward the final two minutes.

Why it matters: Ogwumike recently joined the 3,000-career-field-goal club on July 11, becoming just the third player in WNBA history to reach that milestone. Late-game perimeter execution remains critical in crunch-time possessions, though no recent data on specific standings or line movement is available for this contest.

What to watch: Watch whether Ogwumike gets another scoring opportunity in the closing possessions following the missed 27-footer. Crunch-time execution over the final two and a half minutes of regulation will determine the outcome.
