TORONTO – In a heart-stopping affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Barcelona Gladiators narrowly defeated the Toronto Titans 108-106 on a buzzer-beating sequence that will be replayed for weeks.

However, Barcelona’s sharp-shooting from beyond the arc, hitting 18 three-pointers to Toronto’s 9, proved to be a critical difference-maker.

Her ability to score in clutch moments, including a go-ahead field goal in the dying seconds, was instrumental.
