What happened
Nyadiew Puoch misfired on a 25-foot three-point attempt with 11.0 seconds left in the second quarter, leaving the score tied 37-37. The miss came as both sides traded baskets through a competitive opening half.
Why it matters
A tied score at the half signals a tight contest with possessions at a premium, and every late-quarter possession can shift live betting lines. Long-range efficiency from rotation pieces like Puoch often determines whether the offense can stretch defenses in the second half.
What to watch
Watch how Puoch is deployed coming out of halftime and whether her next perimeter look falls. The team trailing after the next defensive stop typically dictates third-quarter tempo.
