If a blueprint exists for Seattle getting past Vegas in this best-of-three first-round matchup, it looks a lot like what happened in that first quarter.
Seattle's collection of defensive hawks were switching and sliding and blitzing fast enough to make Wilson and the Aces look slow and ponderous.
Whereas the first quarter was all about Wilson trying and failing to initiate offense from a standstill, the second was all about cutting Gray and the other guards loose.
Gray spread the floor and pushed the pace, and ended up with five points and five assists in the quarter.
