Allisha Gray delivered the decisive finish in an 82-81 comeback victory, scoring five points over the final 20 seconds to turn a late deficit into another win. The closing surge capped a team-high 25-point performance and earned Gray Player of the Game honors.

What happened

Gray first converted critical free throws, giving the club the points it needed to stay within reach during the final seconds. She then added the game-winning basket, completing the comeback and providing the final margin in the one-point result.

The sequence placed the outcome in Gray’s hands at the most important stage of the game. With five points in the closing 20 seconds, she supplied the late offense that separated the teams and sealed the 82-81 victory.

Why it matters

The victory moved the club to 17-10 and continued its recent momentum. It was the team’s fourth consecutive win, extending a streak that has strengthened its position through 27 games.

The manner of the result also added significance. A comeback decided in the final moments required execution under pressure, and Gray answered with both the critical free throws and the decisive basket.

By the numbers

Gray finished with a team-high 25 points, leading the club’s scoring effort. Five of those points came during the final 20 seconds, when every possession carried added weight in a game ultimately decided by one point.

The final score reflected how little separated the sides: 82-81. For the winning club, the result produced a 17th victory and pushed its record seven games above .500 while keeping the four-game winning streak intact.

What to watch next

The club returns July 31, leaving less than 48 hours between games. That short turnaround will quickly shift the focus from Gray’s late-game heroics to the challenge of extending the winning run.

Gray enters the next contest after delivering the defining performance of the comeback. Her 25-point outing and composed finish provide the immediate benchmark as the club pursues a fifth straight victory.
