Don't try this at home 😉 Veronica Burton is letting it fly from distance https://t.co/gMYQGOl9U6 Via @WNBA on X

What happened: Veronica Burton, who showcased her ball-handling in the 2026 WNBA Finals opener, launched from long range during Saturday's championship series action. She previously converted an and-one drive in Game 1 and scored through contact in Game 2.

Why it matters: Outside shooting forces perimeter defenders to extend coverage in the WNBA's 30th-season title series. Burton also banked in a deep step-back jumper during earlier 2026 playoff action on Sept. 30.

What to watch: Game 4 of the 2026 WNBA Finals airs Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
