Chelsea Gray made two buzzer‑beating 3‑pointers after Caitlin Clark’s uncharacteristic mistakes, first forcing overtime and then securing an 86‑84 victory for the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces over the Indiana Fever on Thursday night. The game swung dramatically in the final minutes, turning a tense finish into a thrilling conclusion.

Clark missed two free throws with seven seconds left in regulation while Indiana led by three, then lost the ball with seven seconds remaining in overtime as the Fever clung to a one‑point advantage. She finished with 20 points, eight assists and eight turnovers.

A'ja Wilson contributed 26 points and 13 rebounds, delivering the key defensive stop that set up Gray’s winner, while Jackie Young added 22 points, including a franchise‑record 15 straight to open the second half. Las Vegas erased a 20‑point first‑half deficit with a 15‑0 run, cutting a 42‑22 hole to 42‑37.

Indiana rallied late, led by Kelsey Mitchell’s 28 points, but missed a crucial free throw before Clark’s errors. The Aces’ series lead improved to 2‑1, and a fan disturbance briefly halted play before the game resumed, underscoring the intensity of the matchup. Both teams displayed resilience, and the dramatic finish highlighted the competitive nature of the league this season.
