What happened: Following Game 2, officials stated that Breanna Stewart had been informed New York had a reset timeout remaining. The clarification addresses the handling of the final possession in overtime. Stewart previously cited referee misdirection regarding the stoppage.

Why it matters: The organization has filed an official inquiry regarding the sequence that prevented the offense from advancing the ball. The statement from officials directly contradicts Stewart's postgame account that the crew denied the reset request.

What to watch: The league will process the formal inquiry as the Semifinals series continues.
