SHOCKING: Chelsea gray is somehow even better than before - You Need To See This

The Liberty had not lost back-to-back games all season long. That was until New York ran into an absolutely dominant Aces team in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals. After a crushing Game 1 defeat, Sandy Brondello’s team needed a compelling response. Instead, Las Vegas took the floor even more pumped up than in the Finals opener, riding a massive Wednesday night outing to a crushing 104–76 blowout.

One win away from clinching back-to-back titles (Las Vegas would be the first team to do so since the Sparks in 2001–02), the Aces look more inevitable than ever. Even more daunting, there doesn’t appear to be a weak link in Becky Hammon’s lineup, with all five starters contributing meaningful numbers to jump-start Las Vegas’s Finals campaign. A’ja Wilson put up a game-high 26 points and pulled down 15 boards, Jackie Young drained an impressive 24 points, while Kelsey Plum added 23 points, making five of her eight attempted threes. But one player kept it all together, running the Aces’ offense with impressive efficiency: the “Point Gawd” herself, Chelsea Gray.

Gray had 14 points and 11 rebounds in Game 2 while also dishing out improbable passes to her Aces  teammates.
