What happened: Nyadiew Puoch knocked down a 23-foot three-pointer off a Bridget Carleton assist with 8:40 remaining in the fourth quarter, pushing the visiting side ahead 76-59. The make extends a Carleton-Puoch connection that has resurfaced repeatedly through the night.

Why it matters: The bucket arrives in a stretch where the visitors are pulling away in the final frame, a 17-point cushion that shifts the game from contested to control with under nine minutes left. For a Puoch night that earlier included a 22-footer off a Smalls feed, this is the third triple to land in our feed and signals her range is the matchup edge tonight.

What to watch: Watch whether the trailing side burns a timeout to break the Carleton-Puoch rhythm, and whether Puoch is left on the floor with the lead in double digits or pulled for rest.
