Atlanta overcame a double-digit deficit to take its first lead of the second half (84-83), courtesy of Jordin Canada's layup with 36 seconds left to play. Following a tie-up, the Aces won the jump ball, and Chelsea Gray nailed the go-ahead jumper with 3.6 seconds remaining.

Allisha Gray put up 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Te-Hina Paopao added 19 points, converting four of her nine attempts from deep.
