Chelsea Gray pulled off one of the most impressive passes of the year during the Las Vegas Aces‘ matchup against the Indiana Fever on Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
With 7:26 remaining in the third quarter and the Aces leading by seven points, Gray stood outside the perimeter and found a cutting Jackie Young in the paint for a bucket. But it wasn’t just your typical run-of-the-mill assist.
After Young got open by wheeling around an A’ja Wilson pick, Gray spun around and threw a perfect, no-look behind-the-back pass into the lane. Young caught the pass in stride, drained the bucket and got fouled for an and-one opportunity.
What a play.
That wasn’t the only notable assist at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night. Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark broke the WNBA’s all-time record for most assists in a single season by notching her 317th dime of the year in the second quarter.
After three quarters, Gray and the Aces led the Fever 60–57.
