What happened: Chelsea Gray's pair of late playoff shots remain among the defining moments of Las Vegas' recent postseason run, one to force overtime and another to end the game. The sequence puts Gray's late-game shotmaking back in focus with the Aces headed into Game 3 against Indiana.

Why it matters: The series enters Thursday tied 1-1, so any proven late-clock scorer matters more if the matchup tightens again. Gray also enters the decider after moving into the WNBA's top 10 in career playoff field goals with 349 makes.

By the numbers: Las Vegas went 33-17 this season, while Indiana finished 31-17. The teams split the first two games of the series, with the Aces winning 102-85 on Sept. 27 before the Fever answered 99-89 on Sept. 29.

What to watch: Game 3 will decide the series later Thursday. If the margin stays narrow, Gray's late-possession role becomes the clearest tell.
