ATLANTA (AP) Angel McCoughtry made a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds

on Tuesday night.
McCoughtry drove the lane, passed it to Tiffany Hayes and went to the corner for
a wide open 3-pointer. Maya Moore had a 3-pointer hit off the back of the rim at
the buzzer.

jump ball with 45.4 seconds left and McCoughtry hit a pull-up jumper to make it
74-73. Breland blocked a shot to set up McCoughtry’s winner.
