Instant classic.
Game 1 of the WNBA Finals can be summed up in those two words after Los Angeles and Minnesota put fans on an exciting roller coaster Sunday afternoon. The Lynx had erased a double-digit hole to take its first lead of the game with under a minute left in the contest.
From there the game went back and forth with players hitting clutch shots, yet none were bigger than this game-winner by the Sparks’ Chelsea Gray.

The NBA’s Evan Turner (Portland Trailblazers) and Shareef Abdur-Rahim, might have said it best:

But, you can’t talk about the reactions of others on the internet without seeing what other current and former WNBA players have to say, like Seattle’s Alysha Clark and Crystal Langhorne and Monique Currie from Phoenix.

Owner of the Sparks, Earvin “Magic” Johnson definitely had praise for his team who is now two games closer to clinching another championship.
If you missed the game, what a classic with @cgray209's jumper to help my @LA_Sparks defeat the MN Lynx 85 - 84!

This WNBA finals series between the Sparks & the Lynx is shaping up to look like the Warriors vs Cavaliers in the NBA!
