What happened

Cassandre Prosper missed a 24-foot three-point jumper with 3:41 remaining in the first quarter, per an ESPN play-by-play update. The score stood at 24-13 at the time of the attempt. The miss came during an early stretch of the contest.

Why it matters

Cold perimeter shooting early can compound deficits quickly in a low-possession WNBA opening quarter. Three-point efficiency is a swing factor for teams that lean on volume from beyond the arc, and missed long-range looks can stall offensive rhythm before lineups settle. The double-digit margin this early signals one side is already pulling away on the scoreboard.

What to watch

Watch whether Prosper gets another perimeter look on the next offensive possession and whether the trailing team can close the gap before the quarter ends.
