What happened: The Aug. 23 game aired on NBC and Peacock. It came two days after Taylor sank a game-winning 3.
Why it matters: Taylor's recent scoring and late-game shotmaking have expanded her role in the closing stretch. Sunday's routine basket offered no standalone shift in the game’s stakes.
By the numbers: Friday's winner was Taylor's second game-winning shot in 20 days and followed an erased 21-point lead.
What to watch: Taylor's next game is scheduled for Aug. 25.
