Chelsea Gray’s Late Shot Lifts Las Vegas Aces Over Atlanta Dream 85-84

Chelsea Gray hit a go-ahead fadeaway jumper with 3.6 seconds remaining to lift the defending champion Las Vegas Aces to an 85-84 road victory over the Atlanta Dream on Sunday. The win extended the Aces' winning streak to four games.

Gray led all scorers with 21 points, including five three-pointers, and added six assists. A'ja Wilson and Chennedy Carter each contributed 20 points for Las Vegas. Wilson, who scored a record 45 points in a win over Connecticut on Friday, also moved into 19th place on the WNBA's all-time scoring list during the game.

The game was the highly anticipated home debut for Atlanta forward Angel Reese, who was acquired in an offseason trade. The announced sellout crowd at State Farm Arena saw Reese struggle, as she finished with nine points on 1-of-8 shooting and committed eight turnovers. Before the game, Reese acknowledged Wilson's status as an MVP but expressed her own confidence, stating that Wilson "is a great player... but I know I'm a great player too."

Las Vegas built a 19-point lead in the third quarter, but Atlanta mounted a dramatic comeback. With Reese on the bench, the Dream used a 16-0 run to cut the deficit to one point late in the fourth...
