Kia Nurse hit this absolutely insane game winner and sent WNBA Twitter into a frenzy
Kia Nurse doesn't make half-court shots but she made this one
Game-winning shots are always pretty incredible, no matter how they come. It could be a pull-up 3-pointer or something as simple as a layup.
Those shots will always get people up out of their seats. But when the game-winner comes from halfcourt? There’s a little bit of extra oomph in the excitement that follows it.
That’s what happened with Kia Nurse’s game-winner against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday.
The clock was ticking down and the Sky just missed a potentially game-sealing shot. Nurse grabbed the rebound and darted for halfcourt.
She crosses the logo, euro steps (????), shoots the ball and drains it. Boom. That’s the game. Nurse and the Mercury win. It was absolutely fantastic.
KIA NURSE WILD GAME-WINNER FROM THE LOGO
WOW.

WHEW. What a shot. With the game on the line, no less. Nurse is ridiculous. The most hilarious part? She says she never makes half-court shots, apparently.
"I never make the half-court shot, thank God this went in."
