LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Aces move on in the WNBA playoffs to face the Washington Mystics in the semifinals after a back-and-forth contest against the Chicago Sky at Thomas & Mack Center on Sunday.
The most climatic moment happened with only 4 seconds left in the game when the Aces were down 90-92. Dearica Hamby, announced the WNBA's Sixth Woman of the Year just hours earlier, came through with a dramatic 3-pointer from half-court. Watch the winning shot below.

The Aces defended well in the remaining time to finish the game 93-92.
It's not the first time Hamby made that game-winning shot.
When you do this shot to take Bill’s money but it also pays off in a GAME WINNER!!! @dearicamarie https://t.co/QTIyzXKxfu
