What happened: The review centers on the Game 2 overtime ending involving Breanna Stewart. Officials stated Stewart had been told a reset timeout remained. Stewart questioned that account on the final possession.

Why it matters: Postseason timeout procedure carries direct weight on late-game possessions. Clarification would set communication standards for the rest of the Finals. The outcome also shapes how Stewart's final possession is understood.

What to watch: Watch for the league's decision and any officiating clarification before the next game.
