The Bobcats answered back but a three-point play by Perez started a short 7-0 run as GSW was up by nine. After cutting the score back down to five, Madison Johnson hit a quick shot followed by Chatman, who drained one from deep as the Lady Hurricanes led 18-8 going into the second. 

In the second quarter, GSW went up by as much as 12 points but a 6-0 run by GC cut the score down to three possessions midway through the half. However, GSW answered back during a slow second quarter as they took a 28-16 halftime lead.
