WNBA rookie Paige Bueckers made her name a trending topic on social media last night after an all-time performance in last night’s contest between her Dallas Wings and the Los Angeles Sparks, but it was UW alum Kelsey Plum who emerged victorious on the actual court.

In a tight game down 80-79, Plum shook off multiple Wings defenders before getting into the paint and releasing a high-arching floater that banked into the net as time expired, capping off a riveting game at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles.

That game-winning shot gave Plum 20 points on the night, a clutch moment in what was otherwise a shaky performance for the Husky legend.
