Chelsea Gray saves the day: Aces erase 20-point deficit to escape Indiana

Who other is amended successful the clutch than Chelsea Gray? Chelsea Gray scored just five points through the first 39 minutes and 59 seconds of Thursday’s contest, then delivered a buzzer‑beating three‑pointer to send the game into overtime before hitting the game‑winning buzzer‑beater in the extra period to lift the Las Vegas Aces to an 86‑84 triumph over the Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After losing the first two home meetings by an average of more than 25 points, the Aces appeared headed for another difficult night when the Fever opened the 2nd 4th with a 24‑2 surge over a five‑minute stretch. Jackie Young kept Las Vegas within striking distance, notching 22 points and igniting a momentum‑shifting comeback. Young fueled a 24‑2 Aces run that carried into the opening minutes of the third quarter, scoring 20 points during a four‑minute span to erase a 20‑point deficit. Despite an uncharacteristic shooting night from Aces star A'ja Wilson—who finished 10‑of‑25 from the field—she came alive in overtime and recorded her 16th double‑double with a team‑high 26 points and 15 rebounds. The victory improved Las Vegas to 22‑9 overall and moved the Aces into a tie with the league‑leading Minnesota Lynx for the WNBA’s best road record at 13‑2. It also marked Las Vegas’ first win over Indiana since June 2025, snapping a four‑game losing streak.
