Gray’s Two Buzzer‑Beaters Lift Aces to 86‑84 OT Win Over Fever

The back‑to‑back threes stopped Indiana’s season sweep and reshaped the standings while spotlighting late‑game errors by Caitlin Clark.

Overview

  • Las Vegas beat Indiana 86-84 in overtime on Thursday night after Chelsea Gray hit a game‑tying 3 at the end of regulation and a game‑winning 3 at the OT buzzer.
  • Elias/ESPN data show Gray is the first WNBA player to hit a regulation buzzer‑beater to force overtime and an overtime buzzer‑beater to win the same game.
  • The Aces erased a 20‑point Fever lead on a comeback powered by Jackie Young’s scoring run and A’ja Wilson’s 26 points and 13 rebounds.
  • Caitlin Clark finished with 20 points and eight assists but had eight turnovers, missed two late free throws and committed the turnover that led to Gray’s winner, drawing heavy scrutiny.
  • Indiana confirmed reserve center Damiris Dantas will miss the season after meniscus surgery, the Aces moved to 22-9 and the Fever fell to 19-12 with both teams facing road tests this weekend.
