Aces' Chelsea Gray ruins Fever's night with two buzzer-beaters

The game of the night in the WNBA was the Las Vegas Aces' 86-84 win over the Indiana Fever. Not just because it was one of the most star-filled games on the schedule, and not just because it was an incredibly close game with a dramatic ending, but because of the way Las Vegas was able to win it.

It was a historic performance from Las Vegas' Chelsea Gray with not one, but two buzzer-beating shots.

Las Vegas Aces Chelsea Gray makes WNBA history with two buzzer-beating shots

Gray's first buzzer-beater came at the end of the fourth quarter when she drilled a game-tying 3-pointer to send the game to overtime.

It was an incredible shot, especially given the circumstances.

As if that was not enough, she came back in overtime and drilled a second buzzer-beater, this time to win the game.

With those two shots, she became the first player in WNBA history to tie a game with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of regulation, and then win the same game in overtime with another buzzer-beating 3-pointer. 

She only finished the game with 11 points, and was 3-of-5 from 3-point range, but she clearly had a quality over quantity night on the court.
