What happened: Burton drove left, absorbed contact and finished the and-1 during the WNBA playoff matchup airing on ESPN2. The score added another Burton moment to a winner-take-all DAL-GSV game.

Why it matters: The basket mattered because the final semifinal berth was still up for grabs deep into the postseason slate. Burton has kept surfacing in this matchup, including a banked step-back earlier in the series, so another downhill finish carried extra weight.

What to watch: What comes next is whether Burton keeps getting downhill as possessions tighten late. The winner moves on to the semifinals.
